    As soon as you van stop using weird vocabulary as “cis man”, i would start thinking about saying any of that.

    Yes, there is a lotmof right wing bullshit going on but this entire Snowflake “Im special so we need to change language” is in large part what has pushed so many people to trump yo begin with.

    To out it simple: you’re part of the problem. Fix yourself too

      Do you have the same problem with all adjectives that describe a majority? Heterosexual, right-handed, etc.?

        Yes

        I also heard way too many people saying they’d voted trump because they were fed up with all the political correct nonsense.

        I care more about trans people being treated equally than about people desperately trying to virtue signalling with their pronouns

      Yes everyone would be cool with trans people and not bigots if only they didn’t use silly little acronyms

        I’m absolutely cool with trans people (basically don’t give a shit about your age, color, gender, who you love, rich or poor, I just care that you’re nice), I’m annoyed by the acronyms and PC trends, for sure.

            An acronym is a word which is formed by the first letters of a name for something, such as “laser” (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) or “radar” (RAdio Detecting And Ranging).

            “Cis” isn’t that. It’s a Latin word which is the opposite of “trans”.

      I see we’re in the “Trump was elected because of political correctness” phase. I remember this from 2015.

        That actually was a big reason for loads of people, yeah. Instead of focussing on things that the majority of the US population would care about, Clinton went on about the he/his crowd, and lost
