Call me siss to my face and see what happens. 😏

Doubtful that Kermit Peterson was giving honest tactical advice to the left here, but he does have a point: “cis” is pretty bad branding when the biggest social group that slows down trans rights is the red-meat alpha-male boomers for whom “sissy” was the ultimate insult of their teenage years.

Petty and eyeroll-worthy? Yeah. Also an unforced error on the part of trans rights? Probably.

DIOGENES, holding a chicken he plucked: Here is Peterson's man.

I'm of two minds:

I find the 'cis' label offensive. That's my right.
I find this guy offensive. That's also my right.

(If you want to know who says I don't get rights, look at the downvotes. They disagree with one of those. You pick)

Reasonable, nobody should have to accept a label they don't ascribe to themselves.

Do you find all the other labels that can be used to describe yourself offensive, or just this one?

Like are you offended by being called a human or homo sapien? Are you offended by being described by your skin color or race? Sexual preference? I just find it weird to single out the one label for no apparent reason.

How would you suggest we describe people that aren't trans or non-binary in a way that wouldn't offend you for whatever reason? As uncomfortable as it may be for you, gender identity is a thing, and the rest of the world is going to use that word to describe people. It would probably be best for you to just get over it.
