Are you trying to be difficult, or are you actually going to try to argue Latin prefixes with me?

The opposite of trans may not be sane, but it ain't some pseudo intellectual buzzword. Regardless of who said it. Cis = Normal.

Actually, I'm not. I just wanted to make a comment. I feel no need to argue with you. We can agree to disagree.

No, we can't! Cis and trans have been directly opposite terms for thousands of years, like up and down or near and far. Nothing pseudo-intellectual about it. We don't call it Transjordan and Normaljordan, do we?

Can you cite a single source in the 1800's of anyone calling a heterosexual 'cis'?

It's an impressive effort tho. I give you full credit. *tips hat*

Heterosexual is not the opposite of transsexual. Heterosexual is the opposite of homosexual. Homo and hetero are opposites of each other. As in heterogeneous and homogenous. Nothing political about it.

Same bloody thing. Cisalpine-Gaul and trans-alpine Gaul. Cis-isomers and trans-isomers. Words have meanings. Trans means "on the other side of" and cis means "on this side of". If that offends you, file a complaint with the ancient Romans.

That's all cool, you still haven't provided any evidence outside of the 1900 and beyond to refering to anyone as cis. I'm not dispute that the term exists.

That was exactly the dispute.

Fair enough. Although then I conceded that the opposite of trans isn't sane. :cheers:

Before transgender visibility was what it is today, I suppose the most likely way to come across the terms (short of studying Latin cartography) would be through chemistry. Trans-fats and cis-fats, anyone?

But yeah, "cis" definitely wasn't pulled out of thin air.

You know the prefixes of a dead language, But believe there are 63 genders.
I'm not impressed.

WRONG
Cisgender is the opposite. Stop being a transphobe.
