silary asked: RE: "SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN 'CIS' TO ME" I agree that you aren't required to explain terms to people, and the OP was obviously out of line. However, would you happen to have a suggestion of a place to look up terms like CIS or terms related to it? I have googled, and wikipedia is helpful, but I feel like I could be missing some necessary facts because this is a little...

darkknight-ryan: “The word “transgender” is an adjective, and a descriptive word; not a noun or a verb. Just as you wouldn’t call an older person “an old” or say they are “olded”, it is inappropriate to refer to a transgender person as “a transgender” without adding “person”, “woman”, “man”, or any other appropriate noun.” — How to Respect a Transgender Person (via kristt)

You know what I could stand to see less of?
kiriamaya: Cis beauticians selling these skeevy “Become the Woman You Always Wanted to Be!” “passability” courses. ‘Cause, umm, first of all, I already am a woman, so fuck you. Secondly, no, I don’t live up to patriarchal beauty standards, but I don’t consider that a flaw; hell, on my more snarky days, I consider it a fucking badge of honor. And thirdly, fuck off with your victim-blaming....

lebanesepoppyseed: When someone uses a slur and a person from the marginalized group that the slur disparages calls that shit out, there are is a common reaction that piss me the fuck off and is downright abusive in how it twists why the call out is happening and how it should go down. “Well, it’s up to you get offended or not” “It only has power if you give it power”. “You can’t let every...

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN "CIS" TO ME!
autumn-and-eve: coffeeinthevillage: I’m getting really fucking tired of these “holier than thou” personalities of the “feminist authorities” on tumblr.  Oh… you don’t want to explain it or put it in your faq? Probably because you don’t understand it… OR just because  YOU SUCK. A cisgender person is a person who identifies with the gender they were assigned at birth. When the doctor says,...
