I would also refer to myself as cis-gendered, if I thought that applied.
What I would voluntarily do I would not mandate for others tho. If I understand what you mean in asking why I used the term heterosexual. Also, I have never had occasion to hear anyone complain about being labeled such. Again, I am sheltered, and have probably just missed it. For my part, I had imagined that it was not unlike hetero-chromia in the eyes. In that it seeks in this case on a sexual level, those not unlike itself. I had been unaware of it's origins.

I find the concept of Human rights as a game to be almost painful. Then again, I can see why putting it in such context would be less painful for others.

I do see your point. That is supposed to also be acknowledgment of it's validity, I don't know if that always comes across correctly.
Mine is different. I see the right to naming deriving primarily from consent. In my culture, there is nothing more explicit in establishing dominance over a person than naming them. Stripping them of their right to define their own identity. What has been done is abomination. It is not made less so by the fact that it targeted a minority for whatever reason. How would you rather be addressed?

Genderbitch: In ur gender, revealing ur privilege

Hi.

This is a blog. About transsexuality, feminism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, GLBT stuff and etcetera (check my tags for more on that). This is also an angry blog.

You might see me as slightly antagonistic. Oh well. I incite because I am trying to push people into thinking, discussing and breaking out of the stagnant bullshit of privilege. Which needs a nice firm kick quite a bit. Sometimes to the head. If I need a nice firm kick too, make sure to distribute it because well, I'm not immune to privilege either. XD

Anonymous (account-less) commenting is allowed but please sign it with an alias or name. I reserve the right to delete useless trolling, hate language and attempts to out my name or out anyone else here.

Welcome to my space. Take your shoes off, stay a while. Use the fucking coasters.

~R.P.
