What the Fuck is a "Cis"?

It is a man or female who is natural born and identifies as their birth gender. Is that so fucking hard to understand.

"Cis," from the Latin for "on the same side," so cisgender is having a gender identity which matches the sex one was assigned at birth.

As opposed to "trans," from the Latin for "on the other side of," so transgender is having a gender identity which does not match the sex one was assigned at birth.

It's German for "I don't need to chop up my body to be happy."

So let's get this straight: born with penis, stay with your penis and you're no longer a "man", you're a "cis man".

So this is basically forcing non-Trans people to no longer identify as just "male" or "female"?

It's bullshit, OP. It is a made-up word that means nothing. It is trans propaganda. When you look at their bullshit and made-up words and junk closely, none of it makes sense.

Hillbots are all cis-cunts whether male or female.

It's not 'made up.' It was an obscure term used by German sexologists to the define people other than trans.

Of course, they now use it as a distancing 'other' term to make themselves feel normal.

"German sexologist Volkmar Sigusch used the neologism cissexual (zissexuell in German) in a peer-reviewed publication. In his 1998 essay "The Neosexual Revolution", he cites his two-part 1991 article "Die Transsexuellen und unser nosomorpher Blick" ("Transsexuals and our nosomorphic view") as the origin of the term.[3] He also used the term in the title of a 1995 article, "Transsexueller Wunsch und zissexuelle Abwehr" (or: "Transsexual desire and cissexual defense").[4]

Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning "on this side of", which means the opposite of trans-, meaning "across from" or "on the other side of". This usage can be seen in the cis–trans distinction in chemistry, the cis–trans or complementation test in genetics, in Ciscaucasia (from the Russian perspective), in the ancient Roman term Cisalpine Gaul (i.e., "Gaul on this side of the Alps"), and more recently, Cisjordan, as distinguished from Transjordan. In the case of gender, cis- describes the alignment of gender identity with assigned sex.[5]"

It is nonsense. We don't speak German. And I am sick of the fake transgender everything from words, to lies about science, to lies about bodies, to likes about history. It is endless lies and insanity.

R7 speaks the truth but I too am done with the trans cult.

It’s cult-speak.

R1, would you be a trans "woman," per chance? Your triggered post gives that vibe. Do you have "die cis scum!" on a mug? Do you have "die in a fire!" saved as a draft on Twitter?

"Cis" is a slur masking as a needed adjective.

There is no need to qualify "man", or "woman" to please a teeny number of enraged yet sad mentally bothered types who go around pretending they are the opposite gender and who make forcing you to believe them their life's work.

What R12 said.

..........

For future reference, OP, UrbanDictionary is your friend. It's worth bookmarking.

So if I'm cis and I'm gay I'm a cissy!!! Yay!

It means "normal", as in I'm a normal male who was born with a penis and realizes that makes me a biological male.

As opposed to a mentally-ill, confused "trans" person who doesn't believe in science.

This is our cis Cissy!

Of course it's a made up word.

If you want an example of something similar (yea asking for trouble on DL), it's a bit like the term "neurotypical" used to describe those "not on the spectrum" or non-autistic.

Just tell everyone you're a Pokemon, OP. Pokemons are designed to be mystifying too.

"Cis" is a made up Orwellian term created by the gender confused to dilute the concept of gender being rooted in biological reality. Ignore it, refuse to adopt it. If you're a man, you're a man. If you're a woman, you're a woman, regardless of whether you conform to gender norms or not.

R2 is all you need to know, we use the terms "cis" and "Trans" on biochemistry

Would you bitches want to type out "not transgender" every time a distinction between cis and trans is made? It's an easy to use shorthand like how PoC is useful instead of typing out "non white people" every time.

Made up in 1998 is still pretty much made up.

Also the German word made more sense.

R24, you can just type out "man" or "woman". Everyone over the age of 2 understands what those words mean.

Only delusional "trans" folks are confused about it.

Whenever I see someone identifying as “Cis” something on a dating profile I pass it by because I know we won’t be a match or have anything in common.

At least it won't be followed by the ":My Favorite Pronouns" alphabet soup.

R28 at least in that way the term cis is useful. "Queer" is another useful term for winnowing the field.

Agree. I like your optimism R30.

Is tranny for 'not turnt'. Is anyone slang for 'just ignore the mentally ill man in the corner, or the sad mother supporting this shit but better trans than gay'

Yes, exactly.

[quote]not 'made up.'

[quote]neologism

Pick one.

"Cis" is a slur invented by the Transtapo. Those who are baffled by their own gender have decided to redefine yours!

You are no longer male, you're a "cis male", defined by what you're not....a trans! See? It's like referring to all two-legged humans as "non-amputees". Looney, homophobic and dangerous.

Cis Corman is a producer and casting director, known for Death Wish (1974), Raging Bull (1980) and The King of Comedy (1982). And many others.

R35 👏👏👏 Bravo👏👏👏

Male has always worked just fine for me. I think I'll stick with it.

It's bullshit!

We're not Cissys.

I really don't like that word and I find it extremely disrespectful if trans people try to redefine me as "cisgender" when I don't feel like identifying like this myself. (And aren't they the ones who are all about "you are what you identify as"?)

Then again, I also use "straight" or "heterosexual" without thinking twice, so I'm not one to throw stones. I'm sure that most straight people also see themselves as "normal people" and don't need someone to define their sexual orientation in contrast to their minority sexual orientation.

So, I think that "cis-" does have its place, but only in the context of explicitly differentiating between "trans" and "cis".

Did Bruce Jenner have surgery to remove his penis?

In Thailand they call trans people the third sex.

You can always tell when the trolls are getting their threads deleted because they find old ones like this and bump them, hoping they'll go undetected. The funny part is that it never works, yet they've done it for years now.

After seeing you guys chatting it up all day every day over on reddit, I'm not sure why you need DL so badly.

A Cis is a sissy or a sister.

It's like calling non-gay people "straight." It's a word that's only used because some people are gay. Same with trans. If you're not trans, you're cis.

R41. Yes, Bruce Jenner's penis is gone.

I don’t think the cis qualifier before one’s gender is a big deal. People will not be inclined to use it. “Hi how are you doing today? Just to be clear I’m a cis man.” Maybe with the younger generation Shilo Pitt’s age or younger may use it.

Thanks R46.

You open your mouth and the shit just flies.

Here's Cis with Uncle Bill.

^ funny

cis, to be on the side of something.

Its saying you're where you are, not trans, nor apart from concepts of gender.

No problem with it except when a radical few of a radical side of radical gender politics say "DIE CIS SCUM" and mean it and act on it. Or on the lesser level, when a larger number than the first group try to insist an identity on me.

That said, heterosexual is different from straight, and cisgender is actually different from some more informal term people could make up.

Cis doesn't actually mean 'not trans'. It means you're of a gender you're sticking with that is considered according to your sex. You are born, with your sex, and you live in accordance with ideas of *engendering* to belonging to the people that also fit with that sex.

Fuck cis, fuck your mental word destruction. I refuse to use cis and so should any sane human

I am a GAY MAN!
