whatever CIS

vvvv
I was joking my friend

cis is literally a chemistry term, also. it just means one side of an isomeric molecule. hence, "beat him with a chemistry textbook" because cisgender came from the organic chemistry context as far as the prefix is concerned.

it also works in other things, like cislunar space is between the earth and the moon

It's Latin for "on the same side", as opposed to "trans" (on the other side). As prefixes, they're used for a whole lot of words, not just chemistry and gender.

I saw it somewhere, maybe twitter, but someone said ," Cis people treat the word Cis like a slur because they treat Trans like a slur"

I thought that was pretty spot on.
Seems accurate to me too - I've argued a good bit with people who claim being referred to as 'cis' is a slur, and pointed out that trans/cis are just descriptors like gay/straight, and do they feel insulted if they are described as a straight person?

But of course that is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

it's funny because i definitely DO remember society going through this exact same thing 25 or 30 years ago wrt "straight" as well; it was a slur, because they said they were normal and didn't want any gay-people words applied to them. i guess small victory that the window has moved so that now some of the bigots are unwilling to outright say "because I'm normal" as their reason?

I thought chemistry and gender uses both just came from the Latin “cis-“ prefix meaning “on same side” with an opposite of “trans-“ meaning on other side, like “cisalpine” did as well. I hadn’t heard that the gender usage had been informed by chemistry terminology at all. Where did you encounter that?

It's okay if you have any questions.


The prefix "trans" shows up all over the place, but I can't recall seeing "cis" outside of chemical names.

“cislunar” and “cisalpine” were already cited in this thread, as two examples.

this sounds vaguely sexual

also, cis is a pretty rarely used term, even if it is established. to be fair tho, would it make sense to use something that already has a commonly used meaning?

Ideally it should kill you and build an identical copy in the same position that doesn't miss a step and continues on.

Yea, retail and restaurant workers aren't paid enough to deal with the verbal abuse from folks over masks, much less the more physically violent types.

Honestly, we should just shame the antimask people as publicly and loudly as possible to help out our brethren who work in those hellholes.

After the hundredth time someone's pulled their mask down to talk to me or worn it on their chin I've just given up telling people to put their masks back on.
