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.

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?

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?

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

That seems a bit exaggerated.. That's 12500 new words a month.. An average of 2.5 new words of a day.
Let me start... dumbolarkie.

Im not implying that. Im just saying that they compose such a small minority of the population that coming up with a counterpart to their own orientation is a little ridiculous. I couldnt come up with a kinder comparison, everything that effects that small a portion of the population is generally bad.

would you really have a problem with that? is it because learning new words is hard?
its just a more specific way of defining something. there's nothing wrong with having an advanced, specific vocabulary

Is Kris Jenner a lesbian now?
That's a good question. I'm gonna say that Kris is straight, that Bruce Jenner was just a very effective drag king persona and therefore a "trap".

Those words already accurately describe what cisgender is trying to express. Sexual orientation is also quite varied and enough of the population is affected to warrant those types of designations.

Oh I don't disagree that they are getting an outsized amount of attention these days and cis really isn't any more appropriate than meta. Whatever. My level of give a shit about this word is trending towards zero. Don't fucking care

Hmm, interesting way to explain that.
I feel that cisgender has it's place in the dictionary, though I can probably guarantee I personally will never use it.

Well, I don't identify as cisgender. I identify as normal.
If anyone calls me cisgender, or "cis," I will be forced to assume they're prejudiced assholes for not calling me normal, which is what I am in this context.

Trust me the odds that I ever use it are pretty much as great as you escaping from a black hole event horizon but if it makes my trans friends feel good I don't give a fuck. It is harmless.

The terms “cis” and “trans” are from Latin, in which cis means "on this side" and trans means "on the other side" or "across".

Yeah. but that has nothing to do with whether it deserves a spot in the dictionary or not
Merriam-Webster has entries for 'Cunt' and 'Faggot' as well as many other "fuck you" eliciting terms.
nobody cares about your feelings. if the word cisgender offends you, dont use it. write a blog about how offensive it is. do whatever you want it is still a word, with a use. so people will use it.

Sorry, I fucked up. It's 4,000 new words that are added to the dictionary each year on average. The average English speaker knows about 50,000 words. It was somewhere between 90 and 150,000 words that were created in the 20th century.

I believe trans, cis and meta are all used to describe how atoms are related to each other in a 6 atom carbon ring. Trans is straight across, cis is next to trans and meta is next to you. There is one trans, two cisses and two metas. I could be wrong because it has been a long fucking time but that is my recollection.

The few 'cisgendered' folks I've known had some serious underlying mental disorders.. manic depression / bipolar / anxiety and some serious substance abuse issues. Maybe it's brought on them due to their stress of the life choices or their identity issues are just a broader symptom of something else.
But people should be entitled to do what makes them happy if it doesn't hurt anyone.
