'I call myself "*" and don't you forget it!'

As of this week, Facebook users can choose from dozens of ugly, comical, and even redundant pet names
for their own private I-dunno, from the quaint—“Androgynous,” “Intersex,” “Transsexual”—to the cutting edge: “Pangender,” “GenderQueer,” “CisFemale.” Today’s twisted narcissist who has everything (in a manner of speaking—or should that be a “cismale-er” of speaking?) can even pick a word that contains an asterisk, such as “Trans*Man.” - - 50 Shades of Faggotry

All day long they think about their genitals and little else. Like little kids observing each other's pee-pees in the school bathroom, fascinated. Now, 30 years hence they are still captivated. No growth at all. Stunted minds, and lots of yelling and finger pointing. They are the result of poor parenting gone wild.

After googling the acronym, reading the various pages on what CIS means, I still don't know. All I know is this: There are cispeople walking around, and when I find out who they are, I'm going to call them cissies.

Sorry but now-days, choosing the name of your perversion or murdering your own baby is the absolute limit of your choices. For everything else you must get permission from a bureaucrat or Hillary.

Call all of them "loser" and be done with it.

In chemistry "cis" means "on the same side", and "trans" means "on the other side".

I have no idea how "cis" relates to human sexuality. Well, maybe if "trans" is a male who wishes he were female, a cis is a male who wishes he were male.

I think I see what is going on here - though I am not fully confident of that. Apparently, calling a person merely male or female - with the assumption that they are "normal" - is anathema to this gonad centered, sexually obsessed crowd who, among their goals, want to normalize every sexual deviancy. To do that, they must redefine what is normal. Thus, using Cis to describe a sexually straight individual is a way of dispensing with the traditional concept of normality. All sexual proclivities - including straight - must now be set on a level playing field requiring categorization.
