I like that new word "Carnap". That's pretty clever.

You're very trendy these days. Been a lot of attention in the newspapers as well. I don't know why all this attention is popping up right now.

I don't understand it either, but as long as it raises awareness, I don't have a problem with it.

I always hated that term, awareness. Wouldnt acceptance be a lot more useful then having everyone know trans people are actually a thing?

I suppose this used to be called normal but I suppose that's much too offensive now. it's a good step for those who don't identify with their birth gender and don't want others being called normal while they aren't.However it doesn't affect how I describe myself as being comfortable being a man. Also I'm certainly never going to say cisgender anytime soon so I don't see the big deal though or anyone using that in a sentence ever lol.

Awareness is a necessary component for acceptance. If people do not understand who trans people are or why we transition, they are far more inclined to misinterpret our actions and to hurt us. They think we must be transitioning in order to deceive to straight men for sex, for example, or perhaps they think we simply need to be put in the funny farm rather than be allowed "harm" ourselves with medical treatments that actually heal us. We've been living in the dark ages here with regards to how we're treated by government and medical institutions, we need people to be more enlightened.

My ignorant mind has never come across this word before.
I'm all for trans gendered people. Blurring gender lines is one thing but making up words is another.
Can you please use it in a sentence?

Is there a lot of discrimination in those great forest planes?Haters? Maybe some barbarian trolls using racial slang against da pyros?

Thoughts? Feelings? Irrational rage and indignation? Post it up here.
if the term is accepted by common people(which it is), and it has a clear, concise definition(which it does) i dont see any reason it shouldn't be added to dictionaries.
shit, the word "D'oh" (coined by Homor from The Simpsons) is in most dictionaries.

in politically correct terms, it means you were born a gender, identify with that gender, and are attracted to the opposite gender.
whereas heterosexuality doesnt require you to be born a gender at all. a trans-woman is considered heterosexual if she is only attracted to men, but is not considered cisgenered.
that's my understanding

No, gender has nothing to do with who you are attracted to. There are cisgender straight people, cisgender gay people, transgender straight people, and transgender gay people. I've obviously left out bi people but hopefully you get the idea.

It was designed to be as caustic as an insult to regular people as possible. Why do you think it has the cystic prefix?
