Hmm he still uses he/him so it's beyond me but maybe he's just on another level of transatude that we haven't unlocked yet
He's a non-binary boymoder. Lots of "traditionalist" friends and family, you see, so he's taking his time to test the waters and hasn't even changed pronouns yet. Please be patient with him π
i don't know what's more pathetic: a) that a grown ass man still makes /c/iamverybadass threats on the internet; or b) that there are grown ass men who actually think he's tough
People who think Jordan Peterson is very badass.
Listen, everyone. It's so simple. We just need a neutral word to describe people who are not trans. Okay, the prefix "trans" is Latin for across, so the Latin word for not across is⦠you're not going to believe this.
ok ok maybe that's not familiar enough as a prefix so it gets a reaction. we could find a familiar prefix to note that your gender is the same as what you were assigned at birth...
from now on the opposite of transgender is... homogender!
I donβt understand why some people get so bent out of shape over the term cisgender. Latin prefixes are even more common in English than abbreviations like AMAB.
It's just transphobia. If you don't have cis (wo)men and trans (wo)men, then you just have (wo)men and trans (wo)men, which implies that trans (wo)men are not (wo)men.
Got it. I didnβt understand because they make it seem like itβs an insult to be called cisgender. Theyβre actually just upset that it removes an avenue of bigotry.
Fucking gross.
The reasoning is simple: it's just straight up transphobia. The term "cis" is just a neutral descriptor to pair with "trans" with no implication of being right or wrong. They're mad at the existence of a term for the majority that doesn't imply an insult to the minority.
It's so funny when right wing talking heads decide to go for the tough guy routine.
It makes me want to call him cis to his face on camera, and then let him do whatever he wants.
At best he humiliates himself by proving that he can't do shit about what you say to him. At worst he assaults you and you get to ride the "I got assaulted by Jordan Peterson" train for a while.
The other side of his comment is that he is willing to be pulled into a physical struggle over being labeled a gender.
What a weakass anti-philosopher / anti-therapist.
Patient: "Doctor, I feel like my coworkers are labeling me ... what should I do ?"
Dr Peterson: "Have you considered beating them to death ?"
what a fucking loon
Someone is clearly uncomfortable in their body.
Is he/she saying they transitioned?
How wonderful!
Poor snowflake can't handle three little letters :(
Imagine needing to other someone so badly that you have a tantrum because someone created a name for the "default" category. Peterson views trans people as so subhuman he doesn't even want there to be a word for non-trans people.
Is the term 'cis' an insult now? Or am I not spending enough time reading people whining over politics?
Bigoted reactionaries, like Elon and Jordan, want to make cis a slur so they can ban its usage and prevent inclusive vocabulary. They're not actually offended by it.
Transphobes have been trying to turn it into one for a while, so they can play victim about it.
Culture war nonsense. Try not to spend much time at all if you can.
They'll pick anything to get more airtime. I remember them going after Jill Biden for using the prefix Dr but not in the medical sense.
They don't believe the words they're saying and playing this fake intellectual debate to keep attacking the liberals.
Not really, but there are some particularly crazy/militant/extreme people in the left and trans community who use it like it is.
Often not on it's own, usually in phrases like "cishet white male". Usually implying that the simple existence of this particular combination of uncontrollable personal traits is inherently problematic. Sometimes outright stating it. Sometimes literally calling for genocide or eugenics, or saying that it is entirely impossible to be a cishet white male and also be a good person.
It's the type of behavior that young men see that drives them into shit like Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, etc.
I'd imagine the people saying these things think it is fair or payback for the sexists, racists, bigots, etc that call for the same for their group. Payback for the reprehensible behavior they have had to endure. Hearing similar things directed at them may have driven them into the arms of extremist shit stirrers on their side.
Makes for a shitty, shitty cycle of reciprocal attack on people defined as "other".
Personally, I don't think the target makes a difference. It's reprehensible behavior either way. Go find a healthier output for your hurt. There are times where being the bigger person or taking the high road is not effective, but that should never be the assumed default or a situation to look forward to.
All that said, anyone arguing that those extremists are somehow leaders in the wider community is more interested in fanning the flames than anything else.
Oh, so you're trans? Okay, will call you that, then.
I have never heard cis being used as a slur.
I actually have. Mind I don't have a problem with the word in particular but I've read it used as a slur on the Internet and in real life.
It's all about intention imo. Many people use it just to clearly communicate but some also use it with hatred.
Botox in the brain. Not even once.
It wasn't Botox tho, right?
Like the dude who's all about "personal responsibility" couldn't man up and make it thru benzo detox got put in a coma to avoid it in a eastern European hospital because no one else would risk it
Then they couldn't bring him out of the coma and he got brain damage.
But did he really get Botox in the brain to intentionally cause the coma?
Like, that just sounds even more insane...
did he just come out as trans ?
Look a lot of us wish we weren't cis but them's the breaks
