Do you like being called Cis-het by lgbtq folk?

I hate being called "cis"
Its almost dehumanizing. It sounds like a slur or taunt. I hate being labeled for not being LGBTQ. Its bullshit. Call me straight. Dont make boxes and terms to put me in. Just because I am attracted to the opposite sex and identity as my biological gender doesn't make me less valid than anyone else.

  • Nope; I'm not "cis", I am straight. I have always been straight, and I will always be straight. Nothing else.

    They ask for respect, acceptance, tolerance, and want people to call them by whatever fucking pronoun they decide to use that week, but then decide to make up bullshit pronouns for everyone else.

    I'm all for equal rights, and tolerance, but I'm not going to respect anyone that assigns an arbitrary, made up, bullshit label to me. Why the hell should I follow their rules when they can call me whatever the fuck they want to?

    I've always hated that goddamned term.

    • I agree. Cis is not one of my acceptable pronouns. I am offended by people assuming it is acceptable to me. I do not want anyone projecting their beliefs or emotional state on me.

    • @BeenThereBefore Exactly!

  • No, for us non LGBTQ people we are simply man or woman. No more no less. Thats what we identify us self as, and that is what we would want to be identified as. If we are expected to respect their pronounce then it just serves right that we non LGBTQ people also get the respect and get to be called he/she or man/woman. No CIS no nothing, just man or woman.

  • I don't mind it if it is used correctly or in a setting where it makes sense. If people go out of their way for it, that makes it nothing but a slur - and having spent a lot of time supporting LGBTQ groups I assure you it is a very common derogatory term there.

    It is important to note that L, G and B are all also Cis. If they are not calling themselves that, then it is simply a derogatory terminology.

    Cis quite literally is the opposite of trans and so anyone who identifies as their born gender/sex would be cis. Including someone homosexual. It relates only to your gender and nothing else. So it is not the same as straight but rather means "not trans". Not usually a very practical moniker but there are times where it serves a purpose and for those times, perfectly okay with me.

    Again, normally not used that way. Normally just used as a us vs them rethoric.

  • I’m sick of all the labels and tribal behavior. I’m just a guy who is only attracted to women like nature intended. I don’t need a month of celebration 🎉 and parades to make myself feel good about my sexuality.

    My family and background is plural marriage, aka polygyny. Do you think we would ever get a month of celebration crammed down everyone’s throat in society? Not at all! In fact, in society people who practice plural marriage are more likely to be visited with pitchforks and torches!

  • Cis just means same. Like trans just means opposite. If you want to not use cis that's fine, just don't use cis or trans. I'm a woman, you're a man. Simples. No need for either modifier. Just let whoever calls you cis you don't feel a need to differentiate between cis and trans, people are just women and men. You find that more humanizing. I'm sure most people would be willing to not call you cis when you explain your reasoning like that.

  • im straight so if lgbtq wanna be labeled properly, label me properly

  • Cis is the opposite of trans. Most people who are actually gender dysphoric don't go around broadcasting it. If a man or woman "transitions" they want to pass for their new identity. I know a couple of people who transitioned as adults and I have no problem with them. The two I know are good people.

    It's the activists and freaks who use the term cis. So, when I hear someone use that word, I immediately know where they are coming from and I treat them like they don't exist. They can go fuck themselves. I hope their lives are miserable.

  • I never agreed to use their vocabulary.

  • I'm just me.

    I don't concern myself with what others may think or say about me.

    That's on them, not me.

  • I'm normal... those people are fucking freak shows.

    and these freak shows have made themselves such a spectacle that I could probably get some oppression points at this point for being normal.

    Will someone please heat up the gas chambers? I know what the final solution for these degenerates needs to be.

  • I don't mind.

  • I don't actually care what they call me but that wasn't an option so I clicked on "no."

  • be quiet, cis-het.

  • I don't like being labeled as it. I don't care if it's what I am, I identify how I want. If I want to NOT be identified as cis, it has nothing to do with transphobia or anything like it.

  • Cis, in Latin, means "on this side", trans means “on the other side of” or “beyond". I've never been called either and see them as more annoying woke labels. I always preferred simple, direct labels like Straight and Fa**ot; leaving no confusion or doubt. And all those initials simply equal gender dysphoria, which is quicker to say and easier to remember.

  • I don't have internet meltdowns over words, sorry.

  • No being called cis woman is kind of annoying. I think people who use this term are just jealous

  • i don’t mind at all? i am cis and het.

  • I wouldn't like it but it's kind of a fake drama because it's never happened.
