The outrage of the word "ciis" isn't about the term itself.
Transphobes read "ciis" as an insult because they already view "trans" as something shameful.
When your worldview treats our existence as inferior, any language that places us on an equal conceptual footing feels threatening.
"Ciis" also breaks their ideological framing.
It forces them to acknowledge that everyone has a gender identity, not just trans people.
It challenges their claim to be the "neutral" or "natural" category and exposes that their status as the norm is socially constructed.
Their anger isn't over linguistics.
It's existential
"Ciis" removes the hierarchy they're trying to preserve.
They want to keep trans people as second-class people.
there are trans girls who will look you dead in the eye and say theyโd rather wait 12 years for a placebo HRT dose and do it the โright wayโ instead of a google search and a few clicks.
Yes, trans people are 4 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than c!s people.
We are not the threat; we are the target.
