Is Cis a slur?

[Whatevermancer]

No, "cis" is just SJW-speak for "normal".

 

[Anonitolia]

"Yes."

This is coming from someone posting on a forum chock full of words which really are considered hateful and derogatory towards gay/trans/people of colour etc.

You do realize "cis" is just a Latin prefix going back to Ancient Rome which means "on the same side as". It's nothing new, it's not offensive and I doubt the Ancient Romans spent any of their time bitching about it.

"It's not a slur, but it's often used as a pejorative."

How?

Transpeople don't shout "cis!" at non-trans people on the street to insult them (that I know of).

People do however unfortunately, shout "n***er/p**f/fagg*t/tr**n" etc etc at gay/trans/black people.

My unpopular opinion- the people offended by "cis" aren't oppressed. The ones complaining about it seem to be white, cis-het woops I mean non-trans-het who have never been discriminated against in their lives.

• n their jargon "cis" simply means real, and "trans" simply means fake. Cis-women means real women. and a transwomen means fake women.

Are you sure? I haven't heard any transperson say "cis women are fake women" or anything along those lines. I've heard people say "transwomen are women".

So why is it people who say "nggr/tr--n/fa--ot" etc are offended by an ancient Latin prefix?

Don't you see the irony?

The True Believers of the New Faith use "cis" for for signalling their cult membership status. Especially when used in first person comments like: "As a cis woman I say blah blah blah".

By slipping an enlightened cis in there they're elevating themselves while subtly talking down to the listener or reader. It's passive aggressive. Self aggrandizing. But I'm hard pressed to call it a slur when they use it to describe themselves. It's more of an honorific there. In their minds, at any rate.

"Die cis scum!" is different. That's pretty blatantly a slur.

So context matters. But either way, tacking on cis to existing nouns that already have well established meanings is ridiculous. Adding cis legitimizes Gender Identity Ideology. And GII is nothing but pure crazy bullshit.

I hope not. I like slurs and calling people CIS is lame and gay.

 

[Balalaika Z Bree]

Yes it is, but no word should be banned. It is also incredibly stupid and pointless. Saying cis man is just adding one extra word. You can just simple say MAN.

I agree that you can convey the same information without the word "cis", with the exception of the fact that you are in the cult of Woke or are at least bowing to their insane terms and ideas.

I also Hate the fact that we kind of accepted the demented troon logic. a MTF should be called a trans man, because he is a man that is trans.

No, but not because of the troon "logic". He is not really trans. A transformation means a change, whilst he remains the same. Destruction or mutilation would be better words for it.
A person who loses a good deal of weight or starts working out and gets fitter might be a better use of the term "trans".
I think the "MTF"/"FTM"terms, in long or short form, ought to be rejected outright, along with "trans man" or "trans woman" as these terms imply "transition" or "to" as in "Male To Female".

Since men can never become women and women can never become men, this is misuse of language and only aids in hiding the evil they spread under cover of darkness, particularly to vulnerable adults and children. Instead of their evil misleading "Trans woman" or lying use of just the word "woman" to describe a man, better to say "Man who claims to be a woman" or "Man who identifies as a woman" or "crazy man" if you want a shorter version. Calling such a man a "trans man" is a neat inversion but still implies that transition is occurring outside the imagination of the deluded.

 

[Baguette Child]

Who gives a shit? Anyone who uses the word cis in an unironic context is fat and of no value to human society.

 

[Shidoen]

I hope not. I like slurs and calling people CIS is lame and gay.

It will not have the same sting as axe-wounds or genetic deadends.

"No, "cis" is just SJW-speak for "normal"."

If it just means "normal" then why are the gender criticals so offended by it?

Are gender criticals abnormal?

"Troon" is just a term for trans individual. Why are trans individuals offended by "troon"? Aren't they trans?

 

[peterprefectartar]

""Troon" is just a term for trans individual."

Well it's derived from "trans+goon" and it's only used as a derogatory insult by transphobes intentionally being transphobic. It serves only as a hateful slur.

Cis goes back to ancient Rome and cisgender since early 1990s, both having non-offensive legitimate uses.

Learn to use the quote and reply functions and stop multiposting you dumb niggerfaggot. I get that the site layout is more intimidating to your HRT fried brain than Twitter or Reddit but if you expect your girlcock-loving tard dribble to be taken seriously at least learn to use some of the most basic features on the site and properly format your fucking posts

anyways, no. “Cis” and its variants are not a slur. Anyone who argues that is coping and sneeding. However, what it is is a pretty effective red flag to indicate that the person you’re talking to is completely knee-deep in the retarded gender shit and should be ignored. It’s hilarious to see it get banned on Twitter, though. Twitter is already an overmoderated, speech-hostile shithole with or without Musk at the helm, but changes that impact the eunuch degenerates for a change are both greatly welcomed and really, really fucking funny.

Cisgender can be hard to fit into everyday conversation if you aren't specifically talking about gender or trans topics. However if you are it can be useful to differentiate between someone who is trans and not-trans. I believe it was coined by someone who didn't want to refer to cis people as "normal" out of respect for transpeople. Just 3 little letters can help with clarification, better than saying "normal" and quicker than saying or typing biological.

You think so? It seems gender criticals are on a daily basis throwing around "groomer/pedo/rapist/predator" at transpeople every day and almost nothing happens to them (ironically, these tend to be the same people who are upset by "cis"). Homophobia and transphobia has definitely skyrocketed since Musk took over.

Do you realise that "nigger" is just a Latin adjective going back to Ancient Rome which means "black", with a double g to disambiguate the English pronunciation. It's nothing new, it's not offensive, and I doubt the Ancient Romans spent any of their time bitching about it.

I believe it was coined by someone who didn't want to refer to cis people as "normal" out of respect for transpeople.

I don't respect people who coerce others into participating in their sexual perversion, so I don't respect troons a fortiori. It's not offensive because I used Latin.

 

[peterprefectartar]

It can be considered offensive if you think transpeople become trans just "for sexual perversion".

Most are just people trying to go about their lives and don't need a community of terfs watching their every move calling them "troons/groomers/rapists" etc

 

[Baraadmirer]

Anyone who genuinely thinks cis is a slur is retarded.

 

[Gunter Hatherer]

Creepy degenerates need a word for "normal" without any connotations of it being OK.
So slur or not, 'cis' must be banished from all human discourse.
Because it's degenerate mind poison.

Wrong - it originates from Something Awful where users refer to themselves as "goons" meaning "member of Something Awful community", same as we refer to ourselves as "farmers". So, original meaning of "trans+goon" is positive.

With an Elon Musk Twitter, is kiwifarms needed?

Of course.
- With post length limit Twitter is specifically designed for people to have conversations, not deep conversations.
- Twitter userbase is insufferable, no matter who's in charge.
- Even under Musk's leadership Twitter is a speech-hostile space.

Most are just people trying to go about their lives and don't need a community of terfs watching their every move calling them "troons/groomers/rapists" etc

Maybe they can start by not invading female-only spaces and not organizing sexually charged shows for children.

Of course it is. There is not real freedom of speech on Twitter. The boot is on another foot now, granted, but Musk clearly wants to censor people saying cis-, for example. He is just another reddit moderator.

It can be considered offensive if you think transpeople become trans just "for sexual perversion".

I think most of the transwomen do. I think there are mentally ill narcissists, and that most of them are sexual deviants and addicted to pornography. They want to cross the boundaries of women and children, and trooning out gives them an alibi to do so, without being outed as perverts.

But even if you disagree with this you would have to admit, that to call a transwoman a "crossdressing dude in a dress" is not hateful, and that none of those words are slurs. Just like cis is not a slur, but is still a very silly word mostly used by quite silly people.

It's easier to call either/or a tranny, or simply mentally ill. But in Current Year where "words hurt" and anything offensive is deemed "hate speech", I think that unfortunately the "trans" prefix might have to suffice as a way of identifyingthem, even though I'd wager that 95% are clockable in an instant. That's assuming, of course, that they'd ever venture out of their parent's filthy basements.

Yup, 100% agree here. Just like a dog showing its teeth, an eerie calm with no wind or even birds chirping, or a couple of suspiciously happy guys in button-up shirts approaching you holding a clipboard. It's a sign that you should turn around quick and head the other direction before shit hits the fan.

Either you really suck at trolling, or you really just suck at life in general. Good job hitting alot of the current trendy buzzwords though, faggot! You forgot "problematic" "hate speech" and whatever the up to date form of "LGBTLGHDTV+AS21!" alphabet mafia is most inclusive this week. Better luck next time!

Oh, and for the science spergs, here's an informative link to the origins of "cis" and "trans". If anything, it proves that the "trust the science!" screechers will warp even that to fit their twisted agendas...

Every word can be a slur if you intend it to.

Call a woman "woman", a black "black", a jew "jew" with an accusatory tone, and see how they react.
I keep calling people "queer" as an insult and it works wonders, except I don't get banned for it because it's not in the no-no list.
