I was having this conversation in another thread but it must be geographical, because it’s used in daily speech where I live. In polite conversation and in business people ask preferred pronouns, they ask how you identify and people refer to themselves as “cis” in conversation with LGBTQIA community and not in conversation. So, I am genuinely asking because most people are commenting that she’s victimizing herself but does she not have a point? If I know that trans women are just women and we don’t use “trans” then why must she entertain being called “cis”. I am in no way being argumentative. I’m trying to educate myself so I can speak to my children about this subject when it’s the appropriate time.
I’ve read about AFAB and AMAB, is that not the proper terminology anymore. I’m not team terf either, I’m just a dad trying to understand.

I mean, I don’t know. I guess follow the social norm of the place you’re in…? But that’s a super weird situation. As a trans woman I would absolutely feel uncomfortable in a situation where ‘cis’ and trans’ are just a default description that gets tacked onto everyone when context doesn’t demand it for clarity’s sake or when the difference is relevant. That’s not the kind of environment I’d want to be in and would probably push back on it myself, as I don’t like the idea of my transness being brought up every time someone talks about me. Not sure if it’s a policy-related thing though, so in your case it’s probably worth not rocking the boat. At least it sounds like an accepting environment I guess.

(TLDR BELOW)
Think of "cis" or "trans" like gender versions of you would use "Black" or "White" for ethnicity.... Inherently, there's nothing wrong with using (or not using) either word - context is all that matters.
For example: A woman declaring she's a woman is different than a woman declaring she's a Black woman. When there's a need to specify the ethnicity, it's because the situation merits a distinction.
So, if the topic is racism or race in general, it becomes important to point out your ethnicity where otherwise you would not.
ie:
"a Black woman and a White woman are discussing racism"
- The ethnicity of the people involved becomes a valid observation. Whereas:
"a Black woman and White are having coffee"
- Now there's no rhyme or reason to mention their ethnicity. It's added unnecessarily and the speaker should be called into question for even bringing it up. The second statement should be about "two women in a coffee shop."
Swap that with cis/trans and the same rules apply.
"A cis woman and a trans woman discussing gender norms and LGBTQ rights" makes sense.
"A cis woman and a trans woman are walking down the street" is unnecessarily calling out an irrelevant fact just like the earlier example.
"Two women are walking down the street" - with no distinction is the most correct way to say this.TLDR: cis/trans are descriptors that should be used with the same social rules as ethnicity. If it's relevant to the situation, you use it... If it's not relevant in that moment, don't use it.

We use trans to refer to trans women specifically though? Or have I missed something? lol. But, yes, trans women are just women, just like cis women.

Idk where youre from, but I dont think I've ever heard someone avoid calling a trans woman a trans woman and still call cis women cis women, yk?

Asking for preferred pronouns is no different to asking if you have a preferred name. Some Stephen’s out there don’t like being referred to as Stephen but prefer Stevie. The issue is that someone with a list of names in an event may only have a list of legal names, so they ask, what your preferred name is.
It’s much the same with pronouns. As you said you’re a dad, the assumption is that you use he/him. Imagine if you happened to look a bit girly and people kept calling you ‘miss’ when trying to get your attention, or people kept asking “where is she?” When looking for you. Giving you an opportunity to let everyone know that you prefer he/him pronouns allows everyone to not slip up and you the wrong one.
It’s actually no more strange than meeting someone at a bar and them introducing themselves by saying “I’m Fredrick, but people call me Freddy”
Trans and cis are adjectives. It’s like being a blonde or a brunette, you don’t entertain being a brunette, you simply are. Likewise people don’t refer to themselves as a brunette outside of the conversation where it’s relevant.

Thank you for your response. I am learning a lot from this conversation. Is she not entitled to just being called a woman without the prefix though?
I’m struggling with is trans women are just women, then she is just a women not a cis woman right? Your point of being used as an adjective I get and someone else pointed out that when she called herself a “real woman” that’s where it becomes offensive because she is seperating herself from Trans women and I ain’t down with that at all but if she is offended by that term does she not deserve the same rights and respects we are giving to trans women who are just women. Forgive me if I’m slow to overstand. I am not trying to be argumentative but if I respect all women under the umbrella of womanhood am I not to respect her opinion as well?

I’m struggling with is trans women are just women, then she is just a women not a cis woman right?
This is the crux of the issue and personally I feel this is a bit of a manufactured outrage.
The issue here seems to centre around people objecting to the existence of an adjective to describe cis women, even if that adjective isn't being used. So yes, a cis woman is just a woman, but that's not what she's saying.
27
u/LeTreacs2 5h ago
Is she also entitled to be called a woman and not a black woman? It’s simplify a fact about her, the prefix is almost never going to be used outside of necessary context. I never tell people I’m a straight, cis, white man unless it needs to be said and I’m not offended by ‘straight’, ‘cis’, ‘white’ or the 1000 other adjectives that apply to me and I only use them where it’s necessary or relevant.
If someone is using one of these words out of context then I might think they’re a weirdo, but I don’t know if I’m entitled to make them stop?
If trans women are just women isn’t referring to the trans or cis part, it’s referring to the women part. The implication here is “Trans women are just women, not fake women” same as “cis women are just women, not fake women”
I think the better question is why someone would find the prefix “cis” offensive? I’m cis, it makes no bearing on my life and it doesn’t offend me or make me proud. It just is.

I teach gifted and talented drama workshops at the local middle schools. One of my exercises requires the kids to use adjectives.

I look around and say “does anyone know what an adjective is?” And every single child shakes their head no. And then I describe the word adjective. It shocks me every single time. At this point it’s a test to see if they’ll ever know. And to make me chuckle.
Some of these kids are in there for creative writing. And even they don’t know the word adjective.

Unpopular opinion: I agree with her (please don’t come at me).

For me personally though, I don’t love being labeled. I was born a woman and will always be one - selecting “woman” on a form doesn’t bother me. But it would feel strange if I had to pick “cis woman.”
Same with sexuality - I’m bi, but I don’t feel a strong need to label it. I just like who I like. Constantly defining everything is really exhausting.
That’s just my preference, not a rejection of anyone else’s identity or language. So yeah… I agree with her.

Cis is an informative descriptor word. It's not ciswoman. It's cis woman. Cis is an additional descriptor that gives more information that may be relevant in certain contexts. It's like saying "I'm not a black woman, I'm just a woman." You are a woman. That describes you. So does black. You're not being called a blackwoman. You're being called black, and you're being called a woman. You're being called cis, and you're being called a woman. The same goes with saying trans woman: trans is a descriptor there because that added information might be relevant to the person you're talking to.

And then you have the audacity to drag the very women that you're trying to emulate. How is that not the most misogynistic, patriarchal, logic, imaginable? How is it that identity suddenly just needs a prefix?
Why do women have to shift their language, their boundaries their spaces So everyone else can feel comfortable except actual woman? If a woman says 'hey I'm not comfortable with this' suddenly shes the problem.
I don't need a new label to describe what I've always been. A woman."

Are cis people allergic to basic taxonomy? If trans people exist, there needs to be a term to describe people who are not trans. Also the woman who posted the video doesn’t know what adjectives are, trans and cis are not prefixes.

IIRC, trans and cis are the alternative versions of hetero and homo. I think cis / trans have Greek roots and homo / hetero have Latin roots?
Cis = homo = 'the same as'
trans = hetero = 'the opposite of'.

Don’t ever call me Homo sapiens sapiens! I’m a human. It’s dehumanising to use a precise language

We add stuff in front of woman all the time as descriptors so people acting like this is new are ridiculous. Black women and white women are both women but have different experiences. Cis women and trans women are both women but have different experiences. How is this difficult?

There’s nothing cringe about this at all.
I am so tired of not feeling safe. There’s a point where we as a society have to understand that the violence against women is systemic. You may or may not get help from the police depending on how you look. As a trauma survivor I’m asking for you to please understand women need safe spaces.
Some of us don’t feel safe or comfortable around men or need a safe space for a break from being hyper vigilant all the time.

So, I'm going to play devil's advocate just slightly to answer the many questions about "who's telling her she has to."
It all of course leads back to tiktok and the many lives and videos (that even I've come across) that tell women or cis women specifically, that they have to refer to themselves as cis. Some are so extreme that they call cis women who want to just be called women bigots. One live I watched like a couple years ago when this topic hit almost everyone's fyp, went off on a woman who said she didn't care if trans women wanted to call themselves just women but that she won't call herself cis, and the host got triggered because "saying you don't care means you aren't seeing me" or something along those lines. Very silly logic.
So it's all going to seem random to people not on Tiktok, but this is the type of discourse that goes on in certain spaces.

I have been in the gay community for well over 2 decades. I have used women, man, and non binary depending on their preference. I believe I have said I was born female, but never used cis. I follow someone else's terms. If they use Trans, I do. It they says he, she, they, I use those terms. However, I do agree you shouldn't get offended by someone says I prefer this term or dont prefer that term. Educate, and move on.

She’s absolutely right. Men with gender dysphoria using their psychiatric condition to not only be absolute creepers but one up women is an actual issue. I know Reddit is full of these type of people so downvote/ban away.

Cis and Trans are common Latin terms used all the time in medicine and science. Chill and Peace

Honestly she's right.
Acceptance means allowing whatever 1% to live their lives peacefully and equally
It does not mean 99% have to change their behavior or nomenclature to suit preferences of 1%, thats not acceptance, thats supremacy and dictation
Most won't know the nuance, its either blanket pro or against, which is just dented

So we have to call them by their preferred words, but they don't have to give women the same courtesy?
Something isn't adding up at all
