Doubtful that Kermit Peterson was giving honest tactical advice to the left here, but he does have a point: “cis” is pretty bad branding when the biggest social group that slows down trans rights is the red-meat alpha-male boomers for whom “sissy” was the ultimate insult of their teenage years.

Petty and eyeroll-worthy? Yeah. Also an unforced error on the part of trans rights? Probably.

The word cis is just the opposite of trans, they’re both latin prefixes. I suppose you have a better idea? And honestly, those guys probably wont change their minds anywah, so why shouldnt I go all the way and call them a beta sissy for the catharsis

It’s literally the Latin counterpart of “trans” nobody in the trans rights community decided on that word. Trans in Latin means “on the other side of” and Cis means “on this side of”. Cisgender - Transgender
