Well, not getting the distinction is pretty important. People can't discuss an issue without both understanding the definition of terms, or we'd just be speaking different languages to each other.

Cis and trans are both Latin prefixes.

Trans- is a Latin prefix meaning "across", "beyond", or "on the other side of".

Cis- The prefix “cis-” comes from the Latin meaning “on this side,” as opposed to “trans-” which means “on the other side of” or “beyond.”

So all cisgender means is not transgender. Or transgender means not cisgender. Neither are insults that should offend, and if one does, it might be a viewpoint thing.

You are, presumably, a homo sapiens sapiens. We don't use that term generally, and just call you human. However, both are correct labels, and they aren't insults. If there were homo neanderthalensis around still, the distinction may come up in conversation for various reasons, and that's when it'd be necessary to have the different labels.

Straight or gay/bi/lesbian/pan/ace/demi etc are all talking about something completely different, which is your sexual orientation. Calling you straight when we're discussing whether you are cis or trans would be like calling you lotion or something when talking about your species. Lotion isn't a species, so it's pointless to the conversation, and just plain wrong.

You could of course request to be called lotion, but it's a confusing title if someone was discussing your species, especially medically, in socially (as in social issues or norms for your species), issues that pertain to your species, medication, etc.

Now, here is where I might be skirting close to accusing you of something, but if possible, please just think deeply about it. Why is CIS unacceptable but straight acceptable? Is it possible that CIS makes you not feel "normal" as a label, while straight does?

Tasers aren't non deadly, they're less deadly. Because they can still kill in some circumstances. What exactly needs to be protected at the possible cost of a life here?

Well, it's probably true. Although easier to confirm sometimes, information across the internet still is often a big game of telephone. Some people treat internet info like UDP and just accept what they get, some people are TCP and will fact check before accepting it.

This person probably did just hear it from a buddy.

It's to encourage loyalty, like wearing branded clothes, using branded bags, or loyalty programs. This one is very benign though, so I don't find it in any way something to complain about.

The word? Pretty sure it's been around for decades at least.

Eh, some of us climb. Using ropes. I'm no where near as good as him, so I want safety. If I were as good as him? Still want that safety.

This is mostly lighting. Changing from a colder light to a warmer light does wonders.

In his deposition, Owen Shroyer (Idiot who works for Alex Jones, calls himself "the cuck destroyer", and also admitted under oath in same depo that he is a puppet) stated that he believes the first ammendment gives him the right to say whatever he wants "without consequences."

This shows a lack of understanding (or deliberate will to understand) that no action is without consequence. It could be a good consequence, or a bad one, but by simply taking an action you affect the world, large or small. They just want to be able to do what they want no matter what it does to others and suffer no backlash whatsoever, which screams rules for thee not for me.

My sister lived in S Korea a few years ago, and keeps up on some stuff. She mentioned the feminist 4B movement. Quoting an article:

4B is shorthand for four Korean words that all start with bi-, or “no”: The first no, bihon, is the refusal of heterosexual marriage. Bichulsan is the refusal of childbirth, biyeonae is saying no to dating, and bisekseu is the rejection of heterosexual sexual relationships. It is both an ideological stance and a lifestyle, and many women I spoke to extend their boycott to nearly all the men in their lives, including distancing themselves from male friends.

So some of this might be the movement, which is against the patriarchal society Asian countries are famous for (and part of why so many weeb incels want Asian "submissive" wives). Has my respect too. Iirc some men have been violently attacking women over it, bur I can't find a link in the limited time I have atm.

Sure, but it is the point the person you were replying to was making.

I'm under the impression that those countries are more convenient for the company, either having locations or it being more convenient to arrange pay or something, based on the inclusion of American rather than an ethnic background.

Edit also it says nationality rather than Heritage, so it's pointing to what country you have citizenship with.

I know these are just copypasta, but it's always alarming seeing people act like sex is a violent act from the man onto the woman, but praising it. High HP? Armor? Shouldn't sex feel good for both parties involved?
