Maybe complete and total inclusivity isn’t as easy as it sounds. The organizers of Free Pride Glasgow in Scotland have hit a snag in their mission to plan a totally inclusive event: Some activists think drag queens are offensive to transgender people, others think banning drag queens is offensive to transgender drag queens, and still others think allowing only transgender drag queens is offensive to cisgender drag queens.

We’ve been looking at it all wrong. This isn’t the End Times we’re living in. It’s a real-life comedy.

For those unfamiliar with the term “Cis,” I found this rather amusing definition on “Urban Dictionary.”

Short for cis-gendered, meaning someone who identifies with the sex they were born as. Typically used by whiny tumblr users who complain about not being accepted for who they are and yet bash these “cis” people for being born and being okay with the sex they were born with.
I am a female to male transgender and I hate white straight cis men. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cisby faultyfatality January 02, 2015

It’s National Review, which, as far as I know, doesn’t usually do parody.

I feel a microagression coming on, or perhaps it’s just a headache.

Drag queens are apparently the new minstrels. They are the "blackface" of the transsexual crowd.

It's getting so hard for me to keep up.
