I'd say you need better friends.

probably, one of them had a go for referring to someone as a twat.
Apparently that's disrespectful towards women. So I called him a dick, and he seemed ok with that.

I just had a look and I see one of them is using 'cisgendered' like it's a real thing

what does that word mean?

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 10 Apr 2013, 15:49, Reply)

not transgendered
so born into the body that fits you gender. AKA normal. I do understand the reason the word exists, to avoid calling the transgendered abnormal, but it's still a red flag....

Yeah I get that, but I don't really see why transgendered is a thing either
I mean I do, but if you want to be a woman, cool, you're now a woman, why stick with the trans label. Surely you want to be a woman, not 'trans'. I dunno. I'm not affected by it, so I'm not part of the community and I don't understand the horrors that some of these people have been through, but I thought the whole point of everything was inclusion, not exclusion. But like I say I dunno. I just don't wanna upset people really.

it's long and complicated
and I'm not going to try and speak for the differently gendered, generally I'm just glad it doesn't affect me and I try not to cause offence.

Yeah, I've never had it explained to me particularly well
I'm just glad life for me is dead simple and I try to piss off as few people as possible.
The trans lady who worked with us for example, I'd give her a good perv like I would any lady, just to make her feel at home.

I reckon the T part of LGBT is like that mate of yours who nobody minds but nobody really knows why they're in the group

Right so we've got transgendered, so you were born summat and you felt wrong and identified as summat else so you changed, fair enough
But the problem with that is that what do you call people who don't do that, well 'normal' is exclusionary, so they started using 'cisgndered' as cis is the opposite to trans in latin

I don't understand any of it meself. I just like a pint and a curry.

So you wish you had a fanny but for now you have a willy?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 10 Apr 2013, 15:55, Reply)

No I have a willy and I'm happy with that cos I can put it in things like cinderblocks and cups of warm tea and a ham sandwich

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Apr 2013, 15:52, Reply)

Do you refer to yourself as cisgendered?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 10 Apr 2013, 15:53, Reply)

god no, why would I?
however, taking the term at it's literal definition it does apply to me.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Apr 2013, 16:00, Reply)

Then my point stands.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 10 Apr 2013, 16:01, Reply)
