“Cis” is not some mean slur that trans people made up. Trans activists did not make up the prefix “cis”. Latin speaking people from many centuries ago did. Cis has no other meaning than being the “opposite” prefix of “trans”, kind of like “hetero” is the opposite of “homo”. So if you think cis is a slur, yet you still use trans, you are a total hypocrite and showing your lack of knowledge of basic etymology. 

“Cis is a slur!!!” Translation= “How dare you address me in any other way than me being normal and you being deviant! I also know nothing about Latin prefixes!” 

Cis is more than just “the ‘opposite’ prefix of ‘trans.’”  It has its own distinct meaning in Latin: “on this side of.”  This is a pretty common prefix.  I think everyone had heard the prefix “cis-” before .  No one thought y’all made it up, we just thought you applied it poorly.

“On this side of” implies that there are at least two things that can either be on the same side or on opposing sides. In the case of “cisgender,” this would imply a persons sex and their gender identity.  It implies that they are aligned comfortably.  This is a notion that goes against a fundamental aspect of radical feminism.  There is no innate gender in human beings.  Gender is forced upon us as soon as our sex is determined.  Males are taught (with gender) to be men, females to be women.  These are sex-based classes, with women being subordinate to men.

When people say that female women are in this class because their “innate gender” matches up with their body, they are slapping their dicks across the face of global female oppression. And making it needlessly difficult to have a proper discourse about said oppression. 

It’s hard to understand this in the context of the prefix “trans-” as the definition for “transgender” (and “transsexual,” to a lesser extant) often lacks consistency in these discussions. Sometimes the definition reinforces ideas I oppose, sometimes it doesn’t.  Sometimes it means a person modifying their body to resemble a member of the other sex. Trans meaning “across” in this instance, which doesn’t strike me as a problematic way of using the prefix.  Other times it means someone’s who’s gender and body don’t match.  I find this definition troubling, but people can call themselves whatever they want, as far as I’m concerned. And I will refer to you as you wish, if you claim “transgender” for yourself.  If a person calls themselves “trans-” or “cis-gender,” call them it. Whatever. 

But you don’t get to tell someone (especially without their permission) that they are being oppressed because of some intrinsic trait in themselves, which is what calling a woman “cisgender” does.  When a woman tells you that ”cisgender” is not an accurate description of how she views herself and her membership into an oppressed class, you need to respect that.

Abusive relationships don’t look abusive much of the time, even to the people involved. That’s what makes them confusing. That’s a large part of why people stay in them.

You fall in love with each other and it looks and feels every bit like being in love with a non-abuser. They don’t usually hurt you at first, so you get used to thinking of them as someone you can trust. And you treat each other with very real kindness. Then… they’re not kind one day. But it goes away soon. Maybe they even promise it’ll never happen again, and you believe them. But it does happen. More and more.

But the thing is, even as things get progressively more abusive, there are usually still periods of love, kindness and warmth between you. I’ve had more than one person tell me they were afraid no one would believe them or that the abuse wasn’t real because if it were observed from the outside, it would look like it wasn’t abusive.

But the thing is, that does look abusive, because that’s how abuse looks. Abusive people aren’t usually construction workers stumbling home drunk and beating their wives night after night without affection or remorse. They can be gentle pet store owners who love to cook, firemen who bring home flowers or stay-at-home parents who take great care of the kids. 

Abuse is not negated by an apology and abusive behavior is not negated by times of kindness. 

Abuse is not negated by an apology and abusive behavior is not negated by times of kindness.

“I am the woman of the house. I take care of my man. I keep the house clean, I cook, I do the laundry. You know, I do everything that any woman in any relationship whatosever would do for her man.” - a trans woman on this fucking show I’m watching

literally straight from the source

HOLY SHIT.

I wonder. Why not let men do these things for men. Meanwhile women will liberate themselves.

Yes!

So women got harassed at E3. This is fucking unacceptable!! Something MUST be done!

I think for example it’s a good idea to hand out flyers about what to do in cases like this (and other cases) and along with the event etiquette to the people.

I mean if this is what you can expect when you go to a gaming event - then you  can also fucking expect that you get help!

Does E3 have an etiquette anyway? I couldn’t find one on their website.

Since the Gamescom takes place in my country I will contact the people who organize it. I’ve also found no etiquette on their website. Wtf. It’s not hard to do this and it’s important.

do you ever get so bored that you mentally create a verbal fight with you and somebody else and you get so into it and intense and angry about it and you suddenly realize it’s a fight you made up and you need to seriously lie down and relax
