Please don't think I'm here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is 'eeeh' before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I've been pavloved bc it's always used by someone disagreeing. But I'm happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the 'eeeh' or 'erm' that annoys me.

So what's a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying "eeeh actually 'eeh' is a perfectly fine term" would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I've said all this.

"cis"

When the richest manchild in the world billionaire-tears outright bans people from his "radical free speech" cryptofascist safe space for saying "cis," maybe it's not a good look to be that worked up about that particular prefix. cissues

The question was "what term annoys you" not "what term annoys you that you're sure Lemmy will approve of" (or that a malignant narcissist billionaire isn't also annoyed by).

I'm open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it's necessary to have a separate word for "is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth."

To me it's like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, "you mean the Earth sunrise?"

I mean yeah, sunrises happen all over the solar system, there are different kinds of sunrises, probably all beautiful in their own ways, but in general the default "sunrise" a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

Cis is just the opposite of trans. If some people are trans then it follows others are cis.

20 years ago you'd be pissing and whining about the use of heterosexual.

And we've used it for years for other words with the trans prefix, see Cisalpine versus transalipine gauls in roman history.

Any time that you assume something is some vague obvious-to-you "normal" by default and insist that everyone else that isn't that "normal" requires a distinct identifier.

You sound like a typical boomer that describes the ethnicity of anyone except those the boomer otherwise sees as "normal." us-foreign-policy

You don't live light years away from trans people.

a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

Do you not see the tiny bubble world you're perceiving everyone else from when you presume "a human" by default is only perceiving your tiny bubble world and otherwise doesn't count?

[โ€“] Tom742@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago

but in general the default "sunrise" a human is likely to be talking about is the one we experience on Earth.

In this example they, the CIS are human, and the non-cis is implied to be what? Non-human? This person sucks.

the ussr left us the kola superdeep borehole knowing we would one day fill it with the absolute worst garbage humanity would ever produce

Nowhere in that question does it say you are free from being criticized for your dumbshit worldview. It's a public forum, you write something, don't get surprised when people respond.

To me it's like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, "you mean the Earth sunrise?".

That's incredibly weird. To me it's like someone saying "I'm trans, and you?" And the other responding "I'm cis." Funny how that works.

See above. Also see: Whenever you need to classify yourself as cis-gender in any survey, form or likewise.

Sunrises on other planets are not a reality for anyone on Earth. The existence of trans people is.
