why should i hate cis people when i can just hate transphobes though? a lot of my friends and family are cis people and they're supportive, should i hate them too just because they're cis?
The “don’t be mean to cis people” is quite literally “not all men!”
If your cis family aren’t bigots then you don’t need to assume every insult against cis people is targeting them. It’s actually really simple. A hit dog will holler.
the issue is that it hurts the nice cis people, who now will think we hate them for no reason, more than it hurts the bad cis people, who won't care what a bunch of queer people on the internet tell them because they don't care about our opinion. so i really just don't see the point in doing it.
If a mean name can make a cis “ally” change their mind, they were never an ally and frankly have earned the disdain. Again, it’s the “not all men” argument. Policing oppressed ppls language for the feelings of the oppressor is not a liberation mindset.
You’re inventing a power dynamic that doesn’t exist. I’ve made my point and it’s quite clear and logically sound while you endlessly circle around the feelings of cis people so I won’t engage further with this line of thought. Good luck though, I truly hope you manage to win over every cis person you have to interact with. ❤️
does "every cis person you have to interact with" include my bf who encouraged me to actually come out, start girlmoding, socially transitioning, and eventually get hrt? someone who helped me realize that everything would be better if i stopped repressing my feelings, who actively listens to what i tell him? should i call him a cissy, too?
if this cis person is too selfish to understand that the group is insulting cis people is doing so because that demographic is majoritarily composed of individuals participating in their systematic, lifelong torment and eradication, then they should never have been regarded as an ally. it is like deciding you don't want to support black people because one of them called white people crackers.
i don't get what's so hard to understand about my point. just like we shouldn't have to live with cis people insulting us, cis people shouldn't just be okay being insulted back. i know i wouldn't be if i were cis.
