What is cissexism?

Activist and scholar Julia Serano defines cissexism as “the belief or assumption that cis people’s gender identities, expressions, and embodiments are more natural and legitimate than those of trans people.”

It may be easier to break this concept down if you understand the pieces that make it up. The word cissexism is composed of two parts: the prefix “cis-” and the word “sexism.”

“Cis” is derived from the term “cisgender.” Cisgender is a term used to describe someone who identifies with the sex and gender they were assigned at birth.

WTF? World has gone crazy.

[Qwapisking]

I’m just wondering if a cissy is the same thing as a sissy? Anyone?

Uh huh. Activist and scholar Julia Serano had a mother and a father. If they weren't cis-gender (sic) she wouldn't be here.

Transwymyn are misogynist representatives of The Patriarchy.

Oh please! Listen here idiot! Until Jamie Diamon transfers millions of dollars into my account because I strongly feel that I am a multimillionaire you are not recognized as a logical thinking human.

[Nifster]

Great more nonsense from a mentally ill person

[Rurudyne]

That is because "cis people’s gender identities, expressions, and embodiments" ARE ABSOLUTELY UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES "more natural and legitimate than those of trans people" Trans is fake, trans is unnatural, trans is illegitimate. Trans is the proverbial pots telling the Potter off too.

The Fakeriarchy.

[SIDENET]

Twenty years ago it was just another snake cult.

[Boogieman]

“Cis” is itself a sexist slur.

“...Cisgender is a term used to describe someone who identifies with the sex and gender they were assigned at birth...”

You aren’t “assigned” anything!!!!!

You are either male of female at conception...

[lurk]

This assumes that we have the same glossary of terms.

We don’t.

[No name given]

That is correct!

[I want the USA back]

CIS is a prefix in Latin. It means “on this side of,” while TRANS means “on the other side of.” I don’t plan to use either prefix, unless I happen to bump into a Roman.

There is actually no such thing as a transgender person. There are only mentally ill people pretending to be the opposite gender instead of the gender God assigned them in their mother’s womb.

[klb99]

There’s XX. There’s XY. And that’s it. Trans anything is a figment of a deviant/mentally ill person’s imagination.

[Rurudyne]

That’s why I think we should start calling them the Fakeriarchy.

[sasquatch]

I learned cis and trans describing (benzine) ring shape.
