When will this madness of "she" wanting to be called "he"

I'm off for a bra fitting later, wish me luck.

Madness. Who makes up these nonsensical terms ?

[i]“Cisgender” was coined in academic journal articles in the 1990s. It started to gain broader popularity from around 2007 when transgender theorist Julia Serano discussed it in her book Whipping Girl. Over the next decade, activists, scholars and online forums helped to, literally, spread the word.[i]

Get a grip, Tim. Biology is just that, and nobody can argue with it. Neither can it be compared to colour or homosexuality. This is just the problem with this...
If it actually made any sense, nobody would need to be "shut up" or arrested. It would be rationally talked about.

I'm not cisgender even. Sometimes I wear trousers.

Thought so, no hidden agenda then.

Imagine Marylin Monroe being told she is not a woman but a ciswoman, laughable.

I think the term "cis" only really helps when at gaybars, or clubs or when there is a focus of gender and identity. It doesn't really help in every day to day life.

Day to day life.. it's male, female or "other - please say below", surely?

Oo I've just seen BA, absolutely quaking in my boots (NOT) !!! I see you are still ranting on and on spath. Do not give a stuff what you think of me, never have, never will ...

[spathiphyllum]

It's gone from..

"Do your worst spath - not bothered !!"

To..

"you'll NEVER win with him, he's a loose cannon .."

To..

"Do not give a stuff what you think of me, never have, never will ..."

I'm unsure i've even directed a comment at yourself HereIAm.. but i'm getting the impression that you actually really do care ;)

OOps, no I did in fact! On page 7 15:12.

I can't say I`m bothered what symbols that Always put on their packaging. It's only because of Twitter users spouting off that we even hear of most of these things. The internet gives them a voice and everyone else is supposed to listen to their rantings.
