The term cisgender hasn’t been co-opted by anyone - the two women coined it as a neutral term they could use in their research in order to try & limit the way trans people are often othered - which is exactly how it’s also now being used more generally ie it’s used as intended

Not buying it Mark. I don't need yet another man defending the adjectivization of
#Woman so#Trans become the standard by which all is measured. Pandering to#Narcissism isn't helpful to women.#Manplaining#MalePrivilege -
Whether you decide to buy it or not is completely irrelevant - that’s how & why the term was coined & people using it exactly as intended can in no way be seen as co-opting it
Also me reiterating what 2 women have said about a term they coined isn’t mansplaining -
If you say so. Men are always right.

I’ve muted him but apparently I’m missing out on some essential life lessons?

Oh yeah. 2 (female) academics coined "cis" while writing up their research, now all women must use it as an identifier. I don't think so.
