“Karen” used her penis in the sexual assaults. If the Govt goes ahead with its plans to allow gender self-declaration, “Karen” will legally be a woman. Are we all just fine with that?https://twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/status/1050372466659524609 …

No, I mean "cis people". The word's been around since 1995 it's not like this is new. And Karen's horrible actions aside, it's not good to use them as a scapegoat to harm law-abiding, credit-to-the-community trans people.
-
No, we are all just people, not cis people or otherwise. No one is using anything. Simply pointing out the logical and highly predictable conclusion of the absurd GRA proposals, which allows sex offenders to abuse trans rights to gain opportunities to offend.
-
Well, I'm cis in the same way that I'm atheist. Or in the way that other people call themselves religious. It's all just a label, as good or as bad as any label can be. And this person had offended anyway, repeatedly, without abusing trans rights. That's not the fault of GRA.
-
You can call yourself anything you want. You don’t have the right to demand other people use your silly words.
-
And if someone called Steven prefers to be called "Steve", you usually do it because it's polite and it doesn't infringe on your life in any meaningful way. Unless you have an agenda to specifically harass or annoy them, of course.
-
Asking people to call you by your chosen name is very different from asking (even requiring) people to accept a completely new definition of a word, rendering a word meaningless. Oh, and don’t try to imply this is transphobia. That just makes you look silly and pathetic.
-
Words evolving as time goes on is simply what words do, I'm sure you can think of many examples. This one just happens to be one you disagree with. And I don't need to imply transphobia; it exists explicitly in the replies to this story.

Then I’m a Christmas tree. And you’re ridiculous.

If a fox identified itself as a chicken would it be placed in a chicken coop ?
-
Hey why not? Sometimes the chickens attack each other, so why not let the foxes in!
-
Because the fox has an unfair advantage.
-
What if the fox REALLY feels like a chicken?
-
The fox always wants to kill the chicken.
-
That's actually a good starting point: Foxes are predators. You shouldn't put it in with its potential prey. If a woman, trans or cis, assaults people, I wouldn't put her in a cage with other people she can assault. But most people - men, woman, trans, cis - /aren't/ predators.
-
But most predators are male. The subcategories are irrelevant bc they rates don’t change.
-
Correct and 'Karen' still has a penis and therefore is physically male.

Had to look that up. Totally ridiculous to invent a word for biological normality.
