Send this email to Canada for Pam Anderson’s benefit. She should have stopped this kind of posing years ago. By the way, what does ‘CIS’ mean nowadays. Looks like some sort of adverb.

The “cis” thing is just a term made up by the gender-benders in the social justice world to denigrate non-homos and non-trannies. A good substitute for it is NORMAL.

The adverb "cis" is the opposite of "trans."

In Latin "trans" means "the other side" and "cis" means "this side."

The only real English word I can point to for demonstration is "cismontane" to describe someone or something that is on the same side of a mountain as you are.

Because Bruce Jenner is a man who wants to pretend to be a woman he is called a "transwoman" in academic jargon, whereas Kate Upton, who is a woman and apparently happy to be one, is a "ciswoman."

It’s an invented prefix that they are using because they don’t want to use the word “normal”. Because, you know, using a term like “normal women”, as opposed to “trans women”, would make you think there is something NOT normal about the “trans women”, and they can’t have that. So they invented “cis” instead, to try to avoid people noticing the obvious.

Recently had to Google this after reading about the SCOTUS gay marriage ruling. Basically, normal men and women born that way. Guess I’ll be banned from existence now.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

I think of "cis" as a prefix, meaning "next to" or "close to". If you take an elite celebrity famous only for being famous, like a Kardashian, that person is a member of the Elite. Someone close to a Kardashian, such as Bruce Jenner, would be cis-Elite. That can be shortened to "cis-E" or just "sissy".

cis= born a gender, as compared to transgender
AKA, cisnormal to refer to the assumption that everyone is a boy or a girl, versus having a female brain in a male body

OK it's not made up. It's a real thing. wideawake has it cis=next to, trans= across

It's a sciencey thing from the Latin

What has happened is the gender bender community has a adopted the false etymology of "cis"= "not trans".
