Genderbitch: An angry trans girl's blog

Of course. I try to take a clinical socioscientific approach for situations like this myself. Generally, the pundits will grasp anything they can use against us and us it. In the end, we're going to be fighting that battle no matter what we do, so its better to draw a set of lines that we are reasonably sure we can defend and then fight them there, rather than modulating our actions each time they attack.

Cis is rather easily defensible, because it's used only in the context of describing those sociological situations. It also provides another fine attack back response, because when the pundits and conservatives get angry about being called cis and create the strawman that it will be used for day to day things, we not only point out the strawman killer above but then also point out how much it sucks to be labeled with a qualifier day to day instead of just being called a man or a woman or androgyne or neutrois.

It essentially traps them and forces any reasonable, intelligent listeners to see them flounder in that trap. A surprisingly effective method. At least in theory. XD
