    I don't mind being called 'cis'. Its just a word to describe a woman who isn't trans. It takes nothing from me & is neutral.

        when those who *do* use it, tend to use it as a pejorative than just a descriptor?

        That gives it negative connotations, yes.

        I disagree, it's another word hijacked, and it's meaning changed to suit an agenda.

        What did it mean before? And what word should be used instead?

        It's a chemistry term referring to molecular structures, can't remember the rest off hand, and why do we 'need' a word?

        Thought it just prefix for 'same.' So I can talk abt gender identity w/out having to say 'women who identify as same...

        ...sex as their reproductive system' every time. As I talk abt it mostly on Twitter, that helps a lot.

        yeh but it's used in a manner to make you're opinion invalid. When your opinion is valid.

        honestly I feel it's often the context it's used in. Despite being cis myself. Still used as a negative which is bs imho

        .@HPluckrose Of course. The only problem is when others INSIST that you refer to yourself as "cis". I don't care what anyone calls me.

        Meh. I feel like 90% of the time when someone says it towards me it's an act of devaluing my opinions by identity.
