Trans women want to be referred to as just women, and biological women don’t want to be referred to as Cis women, so other than female, what is there?

I agree that I get the ick from female when referred to by certain men, but at this point, I don’t see another option.

Not wanting to be referred to as cis, is just as ridiculous as not wanting to be referred to as straight. It just means “not trans”. The women who don’t want to be referred to as cis are TERFs, so their opinions are irrelevant.

Is it just as ridiculous as not wanting to be referred to as trans? Why label what something is not rather than what something is?

The problem is female and women aren’t grammatically equivalent, so you can’t just drop one in place of the other anytime you want. It bugs me when people say woman president. Imagine electing a man president. The correct word in that case is male. You’d be electing a male president. I don’t care about anyone’s politics. I’m just getting tired of people in suits on tv using poor language and being asked to be taken seriously. And I’m not singling out democrats. Republicans adopted that language too. There are people on tv who wouldn’t pass kindergarten telling us what they think will affect GDP.
