I’m “entitled” for actually being a woman?

[ThreeblackCats]

I was a bit pissed to be referred to as a “cis” female and I stood my ground.

I’m not cis, I’m not a terf, I’m a woman, born a woman, lived a woman for 60 years and Michael called me “entitled” so, am I wrong for defending woman from this BS?

I’m sick of being relegated to third place after men and then trans men.

it doesn't make me less of a woman. But I am told that I am apparently now a ciswoman so that a transwoman can be a woman instead of me. So it does affect me. Because someone who is biologically a man get to call themself a woman through choice, and I am expected to step aside to respect their feelings. But my feelings are not respected

Exactly what I was going to say, but probably not as succinctly. So will just repeat it.

I literally have never come across it in RL, only online like here

I hadn't either until fairly recently. I've been aware of the term for a good while, as you say, online. But it's crept in. During a conversation at work with a few women, one of the younger women said to another "You can tell us, we're all cis women here"

It came from nowhere, for no apparent reason. It just went a bit quiet and we looked at her in some surprise (most of us, I expect some didn't even know what it meant) and somebody said "Don't be daft" and then we sort of drifted away.

There has been some mild discussion since but nobody really wants to address it.
