Students at Oregon State University held a "SlutWalk" yesterday, calling for the end of the patriarchy, cissexism, and heterosexism. The rally began at the steps of Memorial Union, which is the student activity center at OSU.

Fliers were posted around campus, trying to rally other students to the cause:

Among other things that "SlutWalk" hopes to accomplish is the re-definition of the word "slut." They also hope to end "the patriarcy," "cissexism," "heterosexism," and "ableism:"

I've looked up the definition of cissexism several times and still don't get it. Its post-modern leftist slogan soup.

"Cis-" is a Latin prefix that is the opposite of "trans-." Simply put (in case someone hasn't already tried to define this), a "cisgender" or "cissexual" person feels himself or herself to be whatever sex their body says they are.

So "cissexism" is the assumption that cissexuality is the norm, resulting in discrimination against all the other letters in the LGBTQRSTWXYZ alphabet soup.

You're quite right: it is postmodern label-making. It indirectly normalizes all the deviant sexuality by making sure the normal people get a stupid label, too. If someone uses cis-anything around me, I generally assume they've bought into all manner of gender nonsense and that I likely won't get five words out without offending them.

I.e., you are what we used to call "normal".

Normal is the new "N" word.
