If you'd read the article, you'd know that the prefix "cis" is completely neutral and refers to the spacial characteristics of everything from molecules to geography.

just for clarity, you're saying cisgendered is the opposite of transgender, right?
if thats correct, i still think it should be in the dictionary. i was just mistaken at first

I dont care about the article, I know who created it. One of those terribly condescending people who bullies other people through political correctness. It was created with the intention of being a counterpart to transgender, with the context that transgender is a terrible word that should be held with the same contempt as n**ger. Seriously this word didnt even need to exist. Its entire premise is to insult everyone who isnt transgendered. Hence the "die cisscum" meme.

I kinda feel like you must be joking. "Transgender" isn't a slur, or it shouldn't be, it's just a neutral description.

Yeah, basically, you got it. Same with "homosexual" vs. "heterosexual", the former term came first but the latter term is its natural counterpart. I think it should be in the dictionary too, it improves communication.

i don't agree.
its just a criterion. a way of more specifically defining something. there's nothing wrong with new words being created. its basically a necessity to create new words, because of how fast society is advancing

I'm sorry, maybe I am just being a little slow tonight but...
That still doesn't really explain to me what the word means!

if you identify as a magical pixie horse you are a transgender so it's specific to identifying as the gender you are born
it's not actually an opposite of transgender as people recognize the term

Well I would not say that trans people are diseased or sick. Would you say that? Because if you did you would be an incredible asshole.
