William Shatner

[Dragonglass]

Has anyone seen William Shatner's twitter? He is arguing against the use of cis and how it is an insult. He seems to be doing quite well too.

His version of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is pretty interesting too.

@Spinachfinger

I'm wondering whether cancel culture will apply to books and films without cis in the title. It will they be renamed?

Pretty cis woman
Little cis women
Cis man in the mirror
When a cis man loves a cis woman

Fucking minefield

Nah, wouldn't be "little cis women" - Beth was retro-transed, wasn't she/he...

Doh, it was Jo wasn't it, not Beth.

Yes that's a fair point and it was Jo (had to Google).

Anyone foolish enough to 'retro trans' Jo March clearly hasn't read the books.

@ErrolTheDragon

Or they've read it through the queering lens, which makes anything possible.

Louisa Alcott wrote Little Women and Little Men, but seems to have settled for just the two sexes!

So I read the thread thinking it was about Bill Shatner but it's all about Littlemeadow123 saying cis over and over. Very odd.

Amazed he's 89.

He’s not!!!!

You take that back!!!!!

Sorry to repeat this from another thread but I'm fascinated by the amazing hairstyles of Yeoman Janice Rand. I think William Shatner's Captain Kirk had a 'thing' going on there.

Hey Rufus, you didn’t find the dribbles? Nothing on the news.

He's posted this just now. He's good fun.

We'll blame that on autocorrect...

It's obvious. The missing tribble (my autocorrect tried tribal rights and tribute before it gave up) will have taken itself off to find a Prepper household, and will have gorged itself on pasta.

Nah i sent dh out

He has been a while...you don’t think i should worry do you?

His life insurance is fucking awesome...to be fair with the exception of putting petrol in the car and sorting the bins he is worth more to me dead than alive 😳

I like that

I'm not sure if it could be posted here without being reported and deleted though.

Oops!! Well dribbles are messy.... tribbles are a special type of messy.

I didn’t realise she was still alive! You learn something new everyday.

Shatner quotes the 3rd 'definition' of Cis from urban dictionary, but the genderists probably wouldn't entirely approve of the top one either:

^
cis
Short for "cisgenderr" (opposite of "transgenderr"), used to describe someone whose gender identityy_ matches their anatomical gender at birth.

Occasionally used derogatorily.^

I didn’t realise she was still alive

i know, right!

her profile says shes a horse-woman. ime, horsewomen tend to be naturally very gc without even knowing what gc is.

Oh i love her books

Her early ones, outsiders, rumble fish, tex, that was then Etc

Late to this but I thought cs was frowned upon on here, as is trf. Anyone might think Littlemeadow123 was playing a game: how many times can I use cs and get away with it, and how many times can I get other posters to use cs?

There's a lot of odd stuff going on. New tactics I suspect.

Some shock horror stories and when you do a check they're either old, or relate to something that 1 (that's One) person has said. A lot of stuff coming from the US and not stated as such. Yes, I know it travels over here but this influx can then cause panic.

TRA's are very good at internet searching and I guess dumping garbage on here and seeing what we do with it must be such a laugh ho bloody ho!

Calm is important, otherwise we end up being no better than TRA's

I regularly read Bunbury's Guide front page just to refresh myself

I love the reply which says "avoiding cis-related tweets should be a primary directive."

I'd add to that "avoid tweets where the tweeter has pronouns in their bio."

To my great surprise, a few of my professional Twitter acquaintances have started putting pronouns in their bios, and one has even started wittering on about the wide and long spectrum of biological sex in a way that is frankly insulting to our profession. I am assuming she is unwell. Or has 'had the training', possibly.
