Transgender politics and social issues

I find it interesting that most of the advertising seems to have non-binary or transgender models in clothing under the female banner.

Very little (from what I have seen) is clothing for males.

If you have a skinny stick with a penis modelling female swimwear why not someone with boobs and cellulite modelling male clothing or swimwear?

@ David, I don't consider Cis an insult, just superfluous. Homosexual and Hetrosexual are legitimate descriptors, TERF is an insult, it's a disparaging term thrown at people who stray from the approved script.

@DarkBeanie, I think they did do that once, there was a billboard of Mick Molloy modelling undies. Boobs and cellulite on full display.

Ok do a poll on the word CIS, I’d like to see this ‘most of us’

You forget thisis a majority male forum.

I do have female friends, and children, even gay ones, and everyone of them hate the $£$%^%%$ term!

I also hate woke and Karen! Ugh

[David]

The only people using the word "woke" in recent years are conservatives complaining about it. It's the new "PC gone mad".

New/unfamiliar terms are often going to face backlash; I guess that comes with the territory. But if you asked most people if there should be a word for "non-transgender", I assume most would either agree or shrug it off (and it could be anything you like; for what it's worth, the prefix "cis-" is Latin for "on this side of" – e.g. having a gender matching what you were born with). It's the people with a bee in their bonnet about this topic who are getting mad about the use of a totally neutral term.

But I’m not ‘on the side of’ I’m just a full woman.


A new name for women is not needed, will never be needed.

I don’t feel the need to pander to the minority, and that’s what this is.

We are women, and that’s enough.


And if in the future, for some strange reason, someone ask me what kind of woman I am, I won’t say cis any $£$%^%%$ thing, I will say ‘as in born without a dick!’’!

[David]

You're entitled to not use that word if you don't like it, but, equally, you're going to have to get used to a lot of other people using it – we're not going to stop to spare your feelings.

Personally, it doesn't hurt my feelings to refer to myself as a cisgender man, and what you call "pandering to the minority" I call acknowledging their existence and treating people with respect. I don't think that costs all that much at the end of the day.

[stui magpie]

I don't understand how you referring to yourself as a Cisgender man is showing respect or acknowledging anything.

I'm happy to respect people, I'll use whatever pronouns someone prefers, even if She has a full Hipster Beard, if she prefers to be called She, or they or whatever, I'll respect that and call them that. If someone asks my gender, it's male, I see no need to add anything else.

A biological man can identify as a woman as much as he/she/them/ they like but when they turn 40 they will still require a prostate check.

Biology doesn’t care about you feel.
