    Why is it my business what is in their pants, and how they gender themselves?

      In this particular case, it’s because JP is very much vocal about both of those things. He is a cisgender male who is only objecting to the suggestion of the existence of an alternative to being the gender you were assigned at birth.

        It’s clear from this conversation, and tweet above, the only reason to label this person as cis is to trigger them.

        That is no way to treat another human being.

          Absolute brain-dead take.

          1. English is a gendered language, therefore it’s important to gender people for basic communication.

          2. “Cis-male/trans-male” is more inclusive than the cisnormative “male/trans-male”.

          So until everyone accepts that “male” includes cis and trans, anyone who intends to respect basic human dignity will use “Cis-male/trans-male” when discussing gender. Simple as.
