Does this mean I now have to call myself a cis man?Just means that you identify as the same sex you were at birth. Not an insult or slight on your good character, despite what some might feel...
Where do you think transgender people went to the bathroom 20 or 30 years ago? And yet it's suddenly a huge media issue now. Coincidentally after the conservative side's crushing defeat on gay rights in the west. The same conservatives who have found a sudden interest in women's sports. Funny how they always find a sudden interest in left issues when they become an opportunity to demonise a minority, isn't it?You mean steal women's rights?
It’s like referring to humans as two legged humans every time because some humans have less than two legs.
In fact there are more people with less than the full quota of two legs than there are trans.
I agree with this. It's why I'll never understand why these issues are made into such a massive deal for people who aren't affected
I was just about to ask what this ‘cis’ thing is all about but then realised I don’t actually want to know.
Accusing me of posting bile wasn't exactly Noam Chomsky either.The gif isn’t visible to me.
You’re definitely on a roll on this thread. Dale Carnegie you are not.
Is everything you don't agree with Trump's America?
I despise the right wing but sections of the left have simply lost the plot. Has it ever crossed your mind that you might be wrong? I question myself constantly, do you? Really? Do you really think there are 93 genders? Do you really believe that gender dysphoria is not something that effects an infinitesimally small group of people, but is instead the tip of the iceberg of the gender identities we all posses, everyone of us, irrespective of our sex, gender identities that can be detected as early as two years old, or even earlier! For once tell me, do you really believe that?
Every time this stuff is exposed it wilts immediately, that's why there must be no debate! There is no scientific evidence to back any of it up, zero, ziltch, it's simply an ideology peddled by grifters, some really bad faith actors and the gullible and it preys on some of the most vulnerable people in our society.
The Tavistock is forced to close because of appalling practices, it's an attack on trans people! When the Cass report exposes the destruction of vulnerable kid's lives, it's rubbished! When puberty blockers are banned indefinitely it's Tory Lite Wes Streeting's fault! When Mermaids and Stonewall are embroiled in scandal after scandal, it's the TERFS fault, it's the transphobes it's f**king JK Rowling!
And When For Women Scotland win at the Supreme Court it's a Pyrrhic victory! You do know what a Pyrrhic victory is right? It's a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.
I don't see defeat on the faces of those women, do you?
You need to engage in a little introspection mate, sometimes the good guys are actually the baddies, fortunately there are brave women around who are tired of waiting for you to come to your senses.
I seem to have read ‘biological’ being used more than ‘cis’ recently, but maybe the term the writer uses depends on which ‘side’ they are on (?).It's Latin for "on this side of". It's the opposite of trans when it's used as "on the other side of". Used as an adjectival prefix by transfolk to describe folk who aren't trans although what it is women are supposed to be on this side of, is a mystery to me. Probably misguided pseudo-intellectualism.
I think that is about it.I seem to have read ‘biological’ being used more than ‘cis’ recently, but maybe the term the writer uses depends on which ‘side’ they are on (?).
8,464 gender recognition certificates have been issued in the UK, but although the Supreme Court ruling makes references to trans folk with GRCs, the case was not brought because of them.It’s like referring to humans as two legged humans every time because some humans have less than two legs.

If the state think 67 is the right age to draw the state pension then I’m assuming they think this is the right age to retire. As you know there is no mandatory retirement age in general. I’d say 67 is an acceptable age for public servants to retire otherwise we end up with a HoL full of old cunts and a SC full of old cunts.That isn’t really answering the question and you are conflating the age where one can qualify for a state pension with a mandatory retirement age.

Thanks for the description and it sounds like a load of old bollox to me.It's Latin for "on this side of". It's the opposite of trans when it's used as "on the other side of".

Snap!I was just about to ask what this ‘cis’ thing is all about but then realised I don’t actually want to know.
Exactly ;-)Snap!
Kindness and respect is much better. Live and let live. :-)
Here here, thank you.The CIS is totally unnecessary there. They’re just women.
Because we are just women, been that way for centuries, I for one don’t need labelling and putting in a different box to suit certain narratives.How the fuck is cis insulting to anyone?
As someone else put nicely, it's like being called straight. No need to look for offense.Because we are just women, been that way for centuries, I for one don’t need labelling and putting in a different box to suit certain narratives.

No need to be sorry. All part of life in my world then.Sorry that happened to you.
