"Don't call me 'cisgender'!"

As a descriptivist, the term “cisgender” is chiefly useful in that, as a newly minted term, it has almost no baggage attached to it.

@Miller

That’s the thing about language. If people start using a word as a racial slur, it becomes a racial slur, irrespective of its previous meanings or connotations.

“Cis” is loaded with hate and bigoted baggage. Useful or not it’s still hate language now.

Dont get me wrong, I see your point about “Normal”. But since “cis” is now used commonly as a hate/bigot term, it’s not longer acceptable to use it, especially here on the SDMB.
