Cis vs thabit

[Baggages]

Cis is a term that has been imposed on people whose gender is consistent with their birth gender. It's a horrible sounding word and sounds like sissy so it's very inappropriate. Alternatives like birth gender and biological gender are contested and clumsy. So how about using the Arabic word for "consistent" which sounds rather nice: "thabit"?

Woman. Man. Two sexes.

'Gender' is not a real thing.

@VforVienetta yes. I actually identify as chickengender. My pronouns are cluck/cluck/cluckself. Luckily this was assigned at my birth so I’ve managed to be fully affirmed in my identity. I have a lovely little coop and get to eat corn every day.

Woman does just fine

'Thabit', sounds like something a monk from Yorkshire would wear.

Thank you for summing this up so well!

And thabit sounds horrid, a nasty combination of furry pests and old-style carbon tetrachloride cleaning fluid (very very toxic).

You don't have to have 'Cis' imposed on you. Especially since it sounds like a cleaning product. I refuse to recognise it - I'm a woman, born female (I'm OK with men identifying as women too, although not keen on sharing intimate spaces with them like I would with women who were born female).

No need to come up with yet another word!

I quite like swoman and gwoman 😂to differentiate between woman by sex and woman by gender. Reckon it'll catch on.

Surely it's up to people who change their gender to identify that, if they want to, otherwise we are men and women. Why should people need to 'admit' they haven't changed their gender?

Another one who is fine with woman. The word doesn't need a modifier, except for anyone who isn't a woman, but wants to be one.

Unfortunately whilst sman is ok, gman is a bit tricky to pronounce. Otherwise it's a great system 😂

Of course only swoman and sman would be required for the sexes but the genders would need additional eg grapist.

🤣

No such term is needed. The descriptors 'male' and 'female,' and 'sex' are all that is needed.

Whatever word you come up with will be 1) phobic 2) colonised.

It's not the words, it's the fact we're using them to distinguish ourselves from men.

Don't play their games.

No, ta.

I’m a woman: an adult human biological female. There is no other definition or subset, so “woman” will do me nicely.

I use men, women and plain ‘trans’. That covers it adequately in most circumstances I find.

Sorry, there are only men and women. Nothing else. And to satisfy any argument when you're dead and they dig you up they will know you were a woman or a man. Nothing else exists in death other than cold, hard facts.

No. I don't need a qualifier for the word that describes my sex.

No thank you. Woman works just fine.

I REALLY object to being called cis gender. It's a bloody stupid phrase.

I also correct anyone coming out with 'sex assigned at birth' nonsense.

I’m not thabit, I’m thrawn and I’m a woman. No cissification required.

Women and men, girls and boys. These are the terms that describe our sex and they are sufficient. There's no need for additional terms that are not widely understood. Everyone knows what sex is and everyone knows you can't change sex.

Woman is fine as it is.

It's like coffee and decaffeinated coffee. You do not need to specify the original version, just the altered one.

I, kindly and respectfully, do say fuck off. Women do not need extra words. However, men pretending to be women (for whatever reasin) do need them. Please make up some for them instead. Ta

Nope, I don't want a 'gender' imposed on me, just woman will do.

As the PP said, make up some words for males appropriating ours. (Probably best not to nick them from Arabic though as that's liable to be branded cultural appropriation )
