I’m seeing more of this ‘cis-’ enter the lexicon of the gay mafia.
It implies that being “normal” is a choice and you have never crossed into a trans- position. Basically I take it as a slur against straight people.
Once again, they misappropriate terminology to suit their agenda. Cis- and trans- are chemical terms for isomers (compounds with the same chemical formula but with different properties. Isomers require a C=C double bond structure, e.g. dimethyl but-2-ene or a cyclic compound, like 1,2-Dichlorocyclohexane.
If the substituent radicals (replacing hydrogen)are on the same side of the C=C plane, it is a cis-isomer.
If the substituent radicals (replacing hydrogen)are on the opposite side of the C=C plane, it is a trans-isomer.
It is improper to use the terms cis- and trans- to refer to sexuality or gender.
Not just the homosexuals, the entire spectrum of alternative gender/sexual identities, because they consider “normal” even as in the demographic norm to be too much of an implied judgment on them.

And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.
