I thought all this crap was hilarious until we had to do two hours of training at work (a US multinational) on how not to mis-gender people or culturally appropriate the minorities diversifying our office.

All of this is the least of our worries. What about the parents who give their children hormone blockers before they hit puberty so that they can decide for themselves what gender they want to be when they are adults? Or the prospects of these treatments being recognised by the government and funded with tax money? :O

Brendan introduced the segment by saying the universities have brought in changing "woman" to "womxn" because containing the word "man" is considered offensive to women or something, however it appears to be for a different reason - so as not to cause offence to those who are not cis I think.

Whichever reason is just bananas.

It's already happened in UK. Student groups at Goldsmith's College, and King's College have replaced the word woman. I reckon soon we will all be Humxns.

Meanwhile in other news the Dorothy Springer High School in Brighton reports that 40 of its pupils do not identify as the sex they were ''assigned at birth'', and another 36 are squirming on the fence about it.

It's the new Emo movement, with breast binders, mastectomies, heavy drugs and dickectomies thrown in to really give the kids something proper to emote about.

That’s some agenda pushing ... piers Morgan I don’t usually agree with but he was right to slam yer activist wan beating the drum on his show yesterday

Has Stephanie now gone down the 3rd wave feminist /sjw route which celebs like Katy perry, Louise o Neil, Amy Schumer and others have gone down... she seemed fairly normal in interviews I’ve seen with her and not wanting to peddle the womxn and other American identity politics

To be honest, I don't have a TV, don't get newspapers and have never seen or heard Stephanie or Louise - had to google to see who they were. So, I actually have no clue what their agenda is, I looked inside thread once on Louise and it was like Double Dutch, so I closed tab. Haha it's great not to know some things!

I used to think she was ok, but she went down a lot in my estimation trying to defend changing the word WOMAN to WOMXN to satisfy a few folk.

Is that who it was? I expected a lot more from her/hxr/^5* or whatever the fcuk she wants.

Seems like a when a celeb gets to a point of fame, they try and sprout nonsense to sound ‘woke’ and try to gain attention when in fact they age just being an irritable tool - the bono syndrome.... see Lena Dunham, Liam Cunningham , Roe and Eoghan McDermott, and more... it’s probably her trying to stay relevant by saying /peddling nonsense

She was on twitter recently complaining about not being able to afford the air travel to LA for some meetings she had.
Not sure how, when she's making a packet from token appearances like this.

It's similar to 'buffer', ie a word made up by a small group to refer to the larger group they see as 'normal' but they don't want to use 'normal' because it implies they aren't normal. You're probably cis because people who aren't are far more likely to use the term.

Creedon's radio show is the best there is imo, a bit heavy on the texts sometimes but in terms of tunes, no one is close to him atm.

There is the fortune aspect to the fame angle too. When you become famous and consequently financially stable it does change people's opinions and attitudes.

For me, it's akin to a grafting actor who has spent years going through the cycle of treading the boards, sleeping on couches, auditioning relentlessly for anything, getting rejected as a matter of course, doing bit parts here and there but then getting a plum role in a hit film or show, they get a bite of fame, the offers come rolling in and when they manage to get a million or two in the bank all of a sudden they have notions of playing Hamlet, they have always harbored goals of doing "Beckett" and preach ad nauseum about their passion and their 'craft'.

You can also tell he has a real love for the music he plays, he thinks about it, knows about it, wants you to know about it. Even things I usually dislike work in his play lists.

the similarities in the doctrines are remarkable.

I don't understand why people throw a hissy fit over that word. It's no more derogatory than calling someone 'straight'.

"I'm not straight - I'm just normal"

I suppose the resistance (or "hissy fit") is around the 98.7% needing a qualifier adjective. It's like needing to point out that one is a non Welsh speaker, it only makes sense in a very limited context, there's no need to point it out in every day discourse.

Technically, in this context it is not a word. It is an abbreviation for cisgender.

Merriam-Webster defines 'cisgender' as:

" : of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth Research shows that transgender people more often suffer symptoms of depression, stress, and anxiety than cisgender people, those who identify with the sex they were born with. — Jessica Orwig"

I'm sure cis and cisgender are confusing terms for most people.

Same applies to the word 'straight'. Something like 90% of us are straight, yet our toys never go flying out of the pram when someone describes us as such. Indeed, every July, some absolute dullard usually starts a thread on AH, calling for 'Straight Pride' to be celebrated.

the ratios are a little different but I suppose it's the newness of the term that creates resistance. still only makes sense in a very limited context. also the militant nature of activism in this area is bound to get people's backs up.

'Straight' only makes sense in a very limited context too - and is also a neologism, having originated in the mid-20th Century. When people get their non-gender-specific-underwear in a knot over 'cis', they're being irrational - especially if they're happy (and in some bizarre cases, proud) to call themselves 'straight'.

I think most people don't give a f##k what you think they should be called, most have an issue with this all pervasive identity politic which seems determined to divide us all....and what impact this will have in our young people who face much much more serious issues than what gender they may feel they are at this time....their ability to handle life's difficulties and challenges trumps their need to feel victimised...life is a bitch learn to deal with it.

It's unpleasant and demeaning to compare trans people with some Dutch troll who wants to change his age because he's not having much luck on dating sites. Especially when you consider their high rate of suicides and attempted suicides. I can't imagine how a trans person would feel when they read threads like this. I know people love their 'logic' on AH, but the lack of empathy and basic common decency displayed here sometimes is astounding.
