My entire argument is based on the fact that its usage has almost exclusively been the realm of people eager to start a fight
And that would be why, as we've pointed out, your argument is WRONG.
Like here.
Uh, go check those comments again. It was used in a perfectly sensible way originally, and then *you* started a fight over it.
Comment history: Easy to check, does not erase itself.
And usually by people who are themselves cis and want to show just how inclusive they are. Again. Like here.
Again, completely wrong. Not that I'd expect you to be able to tell one from another just based on the comments.
thank you for mansplaining
Coming from the guy who says "cis" should never be used because it's only used to pick a fight.
I'm sorry, my irony meter measures in decibles and it's STILL binging the little overload warning alarm.
Just "Oh look, here we go again." And lo and behold, here we went again!
"When I pick a fight in an ignorant way, a fight starts. I picked a fight here, and a fight started! It's the fault of THE THING I PICKED THE FIGHT OVER."
(Free clue: It is not "homosexuality" that causes the suicide rate among homosexuals to be way higher than among straight. Similarly, it is not the word "cis" that started people on this thread calling you ignorant.)
I'd like to think I made myself pretty clear.
Your position is clear, and it is also wrong.
Perhaps you should spend less time being offended on behalf of others
... says the person who picked a fight because he was offended on behalf of other people who shouldn't have to learn words.
I believe the words I'm looking for are something about motes and beams and things. You should try thinking carefully about that before you keep arguing this one.
