      Libby Brooks Retweeted Crone in a million

      1/2 I've had a few queries like this following my piece on the latest Scottish government consultation on GRA reform...according to the Guardian's style guide, we now use cisgender/cis to mean a person who identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth...https://twitter.com/CroneInAMillion/status/1207006442689040384 …

      Why are you calling women "cis"? Dividing women into either women people who identify with femininity or women who are "trans" is hugely sexist. Most women fit the definition of non-binary but don't buy into this outdated, restrictive concept of the gender binary.

      So, according to the Guardian a cis woman has a deep internal sense of herself, one where she identifies with the gender norms, society roles, stereotypes and expressions that are enforced on those of the female sex? So what about the other women who don't think like that?

      Does the Guardian understand that a lot of women don't identify as "cis" , in fact they find it quite offensive to be told they must have an innate essence of femininity to be a woman?

          If the Guardian were told by trans women that they didn't like the language it used to describe them, there would be a change to this style guide within minutes. I'm sure this will work just as well for "cis women".... not.

          The irony is that Trans Rights organisations did indeed tell the @guardian the language to use and was implemented by @KathViner

          This 'style guide' is grossly offensive, in need of review+also wrong. I don't have a gender - I certainly wouldn't identify w it had I. Why ascribe to others definitions they don't recognise: >98% pop then have the gall to demand definitions are ascribed catering: <2% pop? Stop!

          It's just horrible. It's distressing. I have never gone along with gender. It is reductive/limiting for one, now ur trying to say I have to be classed not as ME but as to what I am NOT!? 😣sod it. I can't identity as myself but how others see me- how does that square w/ equality?
