Pong Messiah Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Oddly enough, while I have no idea what movie they are talking about in example #1, I don't see anything wrong asking why a cis male is playing a trans female. I mean, you'd wonder why a Caucasian man is playing an Asian man, even if makeup and/or CGI made it impossible to tell, wouldn't you? Anyhow, a lot of the other ones are so hilariously dumb, I have to wonder wonder if they are real... then I remember I know people like this. La la la link! Enjoy!

Evolence Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's great. I'm pretty sure the first one was in response to Dallas Buyer's Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm in a cloth diapering community, and one of the members is a lesbian. She got mad that her local cloth diaper store changed their names to Chicks and Hens, a name she found sexist. But she explained that it's sexist because it implies that only a woman and a cisgendered male can make a baby. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU NEEDED SPERM TO MAKE YOUR BABY, DIPSHIT.

Darth Krawlie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 "Cis" is quickly becoming a thing that anytime I hear it I immediately take the opposite position of the person using it and want to set fire to something they hold dear.

Evolence Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Destiny, to be a scientist you sure are behind the times. It's already possible to bypass a woman's egg to make a baby. It is only time before women can bypass the sperm. http://guardianlv.com/2012/10/jd-stem-cell-discovery-will-allow-gay-men-to-create-their-own-eggs-for-surrogate-birth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kurgan Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 About a half dozen or so people on my friend list are like this. These are not exaggerations. This is completely par for the course in center-left thought now. The punch line is that they like to rag on the creationists for being stupid. I don't know who's worse any more.

NumberSix Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What's "cis" now? Basically it means your actual, physical, biological gender is the same as what gender you say/think/believe/insist you are. Or something like that. I made the mistake of typing that without double-checking an approved glossary site first, so I've probably doomed myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolence Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It actually derives from isomer chemistry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism In the case of gender descriptors, you can think of cis-women or cis-men as being biologically born women/men. Trans individuals would have transitioned to that status but originally been assigned a gender at birth that they don't identify with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
