It is vital to their ideology that you accept your cisgender label. Or at a minimum some other gender label. For once you have labeled yourself thus, you have now accepted the ideology into your heart. You have left behind your old words, your understanding of the world. 2/
First they will laugh at you if you refuse the cis label. They will ridicule you. They will tell you the prefix cis comes from Latin. Of course, it isn’t the prefix you object to. It’s the whole word: cisgender. 3/
'Cis' is quite literally aligning someone's personality with their biological sex which is a regressive, reductive, anti-feminist, and misogynistic.
Cis woman, is a sexist term that implies that there are two kinds of women: female and male ones, making the word woman something people identify as. This is an ideological lie, because we are a protected class on the basis of our biological sex, not our internal sense of being.
