    I don’t know why people get so grumpy over the word cis

    If a room has no lights on do you say “this room has a complete absence of light”? Or do you say the room is dark?

      I find cis to be an extremely useful term. It very clearly conveys what I am and who I’m interested in. Why wouldn’t I embrace it?

      More like if the room is lit its “normal.” That seems to be how people see it, being “persecuted” becauae they cant be normal and call others abnormal
