I find the word as displeasing as some people find 'moist', but I'm entitled to an opinion. Am I going to wave a sign around and demonstrate over it despite thinking it was promoted for its potential to upset the victim? Of course not: it's just a stupid name and I've been called far worse by better drill sergeants. There's a lot of room in there between disliking something and "losing my shit over" it, and it will help respecting others if you understand that.
Well, there's also a different between "I have a weird visceral reaction to the sound itself" and "I think its equal to the new word" lol
What victim?
Wow, you really are delicate. It's got to be hard going through life being offended by such little things all the time
That's a really weird response to someone's reasonable comment.
You think it's reasonable to be offended by the words "moist" and "cis"?
People who are offended by being called "cis" are often the same people who have spent their lives labelling everyone else because of a misguided sense of superiority. Being called "cis" bursts that bubble of, "you can't label me because I one of us, not one of them." Those people need to get the fuck over themselves.
When someone uses the words f-ggot or d-ke or tr-nny or the words cis or breeder or the N word or bloodmouth or carnist or corpsemuncher or any one of the other words that fanatics or extremists use I know exactly what they are and I stop giving the first fuck about anything they say.
EdIT: Do you know why this comment is being downvoted? It's because the members of the fanatical groups that I listed in my last paragraph resent being lumped in with the members of the other fanatical groups I listed. Each one of them believes that they are morally pure and supperior and that the others are not. They can't see that they are making the exact same intellectual error in believing that they are pure and superior and that everything they say and do is justified. Anti-LBGTQ extremists and pro-LGBTQ absolutists are the same. Different beliefs and targets but the intellectual mistake that they make is exactly the same.
They didn't even say he found it offending. Just that they found it displeasing.
They then spent the rest of the comment talking about how they keep it to themself and doesn't attack or act otherwise negatively to people who use them. The way a healthy person handles such things.
Meanwhile you're the one actually flying off the handle and getting offended by this. I would suggest some introspection as to why you're so bothered by a random comment on the internet like that.
Displeasing...synonym, offensive.
Ah...the classic, "I know you are but what am I" retort.
Splended. Back to the school yard, are we?
OC is trying to use reductive fallacious arguments to invalidate my clearly stated preference. I'm not playing that game because that IS offensive.
Might I be a hypocrite? Of course not, it's the children who are posting.
Fanatics are going to fanatic.
Fragile identity meets fragile identity on the Internet and produces a useless conversation. News at 11.
What part of, "I'm a cis man who has a preference for cis women" sounds fragile to you? I am very clearly comfortable in my own identity and very clear in what I like.

That is not a citation.
Sure it is.
Do a Google search for, "straight fragility" and you will find everything you need.

Better?
No. That's still not a citation.
It is a citation. I used a citation generator. It doesn't satisfy your pedantism but it's definitely a citation.
