I would prefer to identify as male. I don't want to be trans, I don't want to be cis. I just want to be a male, and _ANYONE_ who wants to join me is welcome.

Seriously. It sounds like some sort of disease.

On the off chance you’re one of today’s 10,000.

trans- is a prefix that means on the “opposite side of.” And so that’s where transgender came from. But then people wanted a term for people who aren’t trans and “not transgender” is awkward. So people looked and found that cis- is a prefix that means “on the same side of” and just went with that. Kinda clever honestly.

I am agreeing with you in this problem. I have a large dislike for this term. The gays pick so many words on how to say about them. And we then get word placed on us. Also word that I heard only in derogatory contexts as to this day.

Wait huh? It just means not transgender. That’s is. It’s exactly the same form as heterosexual.

homo- same

hetero- different

trans- on the other side

cis - on the same side
