"Exchange with some guys at Enter Shikari gig" We need to get away from labelling everything and everyone, Whether it be gender, race, colour. I don't know your full situation, But i'm sure you'd rather be called a man than a trans man?
I’m a man in public life. For the purpose of this video and story I’m using trans and cis to distinguish between the men I was talking to and myself. The point is people can’t tell I’m trans in person like everyone likes to claim they can.
I kind of had similar thought from reading the title, but honestly especially in this context don't think there's any issue with the distinguishing labels. Would prefer a world where it wasn't like that, think the main issue is when those labels and terms are using in a derogatory manner. Also congratulations on passing must be a feel good moment for you too, get your glow up.
@@_Endeavour I understand why you used it, But do you not see the contradiction? It comes off very divisive. I'm not a cis man, I'm a man, As are you. By even using the word Cis, basically puts a wall up that you know we are different, And you put that wall up. Not me, Not the lads you spoke to. I'm trying to learn and understand like everyone else. (quite frankly, if I was called a cis man to my face, I would probably walk away from the conversation wondering why i'm being labelled something I am not, or haven't agreed too..)
If you’re not a cis man, you’re a trans man. Both are men, but a different type of man. Cis and trans are Latin pre fix adjectives that are descriptors. I don’t class them as labels at all. To me it’s like saying a tall man, a short man. Cis and trans have been around for years (organic chemistry for example). Cisgender just means your gender aligns with your birth sex and mine doesn’t. In certain conversations it’s relevant to distinguish between the two like in the video. The video wouldn’t make any sense if I didn’t state the difference. It’s been used between myself and my Doctors. Cis doctors describing themselves as cis. Why would you get called cis to your face? It’s like you’re preparing yourself to be offended over an unlikely scenario. Majority of trans people are stealth for safety reasons and to be honest if they knew you were offended by an adjective they’d probably avoid you anyway🤷♂️. So nothing to worry about.
Well I’ve never used the word cis to a person in a derogatory manner, but there have been many a time that being called trans (often the offensive version of the word amongst other things) has been said to me. It’s delightful.
