    "Who are you calling cis?" I hear so many nice men & women adopting the language of "cis" as if it is an easy accomadation to inclusion. It isn't. It turns feminism inside out. It makes it impossible to speak about women & denies us freedom of association. To whose benefit?https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1206722121096978433 …

        Start with cis, end up sitting in department meetings talking about "vaginal privilege".

        It's all part of the authoritarian nature of it. Pronouns - "You call me this". "Cis" - "You are called that." So they're controlling language from both sides.

        I always thought CIS was to do with the alignment of molecules in chemical isomers It's all very confusing

        True, this language is adopted as a compassionate move; however, it means accepting and promoting a language in which being a woman depends on a feeling. It therefore denies the lived, biological reality of so many of us for whom

        I find the word "cis" offensive to me. Have to watch what I say, exactly what you are writing about, as my account was reported and locked down, as it was deemed offensive! We are being silenced, written out of existence, and our womanhood hijacked.

        I TOTALLY agree. I am NOT a 'CIS' woman, I am, always have and always will be, a WOMAN. Rrrrrr.
