To wonder what the point of cisgender is?

[Squatternutbosh]

I’ve just read an article where cisgender is described as “someone who identifies as the sex they were assigned at birth”. Is this an actual thing? Why is this even given a label? Surely if you were born male or female and you live as a male or female then this is what you “identify” as. (If you even feel the need to identify as anything, rather than just living your life as you).

It seems like everything must be given a label these days. The worlds gone fucking mad.

Identity politics eating itself.

It's a studied insult

I was having a good laugh with my boys about this earlier. Apparently it's the latest buzz word in the identity politics nonsense. Means not trans i think. Why we need a word for not trans I have no idea.

It is absolutely ridiculous. Some twat obviously painstakingly made this term a “thing”.

Cis and trans will only ever be applied to molecules for me.

FFS! What a load of bollocks!

It's a very curious insult.

I don't think it's intended as an insult... just quicker than saying 'People who identify as the gender they were born', I guess. And I am gender critical but I don't have a particular problem with cis.

Or... you could try to understand (imagine) why for some people this has come about. It may be hard for you to empathise but you could try.

It's a current buzz word. People will move on and there will be some other nonsense in its place.

just quicker than saying 'People who identify as the gender they were born',
Or you could use a word like " woman" or "female".

Or is that too simple?

I take issue with it because it makes assumptions. Being ‘non trans’ does not mean I ‘identify’ with being female. The two are not mutually exclusive.
I have never had an ‘inner feeling’ related to my biology. I am a woman because of my biology only. I have never ‘felt’ either male or female. If other people do, great for them. For me, I’m just me. I don’t relate some ‘inner feeling’ to having a fanjo and tits. I’ve nevet understood that at all. So ‘cis’ cannot apply to me.

^This.

You ain't kidding!

And I am gender critical but I don't have a particular problem with cis

You’re not very GC if you don’t have a problem with a made up term that insists on labelling how far you conform to gender stereotypes rather than just sticking with biological sex...

It’s nonsence. Woman/girl or man/boy will generally suffice.

I am not interested in gender.

I don't identify as anything.

I do not accept gender-based labels.

It's a label people keep trying to stick us with and hit the roof at us if we insist as women that we are called women because they have more rights to be called a woman than someone who was actually born raised and living as one

Woman/man suffice, this is why transgendered people are getting a bad name they are wanting everyone to label theirselves with no need.

If you are transgender fair enough no problem,but don't expect rest of us to start adding things to our sex.

I don’t refer to my best friend as a gay man so I don’t know why we must refer to people as a trans man/woman. Why can’t they just be the gender they identify as without a term attached to it? Baffles me.

It's not very helpful in every day life but it makes discussions about gender identity a lot less confusing.

You can't use it here though IME because people take offence

Yes I don't see why I should change for a total stranger I feel like I woke up one morning and someone was in my house telling me it's my house now off you fuck

Its all bollocks
Made up bollocks
I was born a woman, i have lived 57 years as a woman, i do not need a made up thing, i am a woman

I was born female and have never felt I should not have been born female. I am quite happy as I am. That is all cis means isn’t it?
