That reads more like an angsty 16-year old trying to make a sick burn than an actual quote from multi-millionaire David Karp.

Even though this post's quote is probably fake, Oppenheimer was quoting another source...quote of a quote of a quote. Quoteception.

aintgotnosugar
Just when sex (the biological part) and gender (how people intimately feel like) matches (within the binary system). To put it more simply,
aintgotnosugar
it's people who are: male sex + feel like a man or female sex + feel like a woman. In the weird world of SJWs, it's heresy for some reasons.
isitsupposedtodothat
UOP: cis-gender is something you identify with, not a label to put on others. I'd rather say he's a man in a heteronormative sense.
roonmian
Don't bother. Bigots like this think when they use the words the other site uses - even if they don't understand them - they win by default

Except the term "cisgender" is rarely used as a self-identifier.

Psychethos
Surely "man in a heteronormative sense" is more of a hassle than "cisgendered".
isitsupposedtodothat
Definitely not a practical term, but it doesn't have such a loud, negative ring to it to me.
Psychethos
It only has a "loud, negative ring" because you hear it in a negative context often. It's a perfectly useful word in the right context.
isitsupposedtodothat
It gets a negative ring to it when you label someone else with it, so this post is, to me, a perfect example of the 'wrong' context.
Psychethos
Why is it negative to label someone else as someone whose gender identity matches the body they were born with?
HaniiPuppy
Or just "Male", with no qualifiers. That works too.
Psychethos
That would get confusing if you were having a discussion about trans people or issues. That's the context cisgendered is meant for.
HaniiPuppy
Referring to it constantly without relevance to context (as certain people do) introduces irrelevant subtext and reduces the meaning...
HaniiPuppy
to nothing more than a buzzword, and occasionally bigoted insult. It does have its use - its very specific use. But it's massively overused.
Psychethos
I don't really think so. It's not as commonly needed a word as 'heterosexual', for instance, but no more variable in meaning.
DefinitionOfHappiness
Why the fuck is there even a cis-gender? This shit is getting out of hand.
isitsupposedtodothat
It's just a term. Although I don't approve of the use in this context I believe it is necessary for an equal discussion of this stuff.
DefinitionOfHappiness
I guess for completeness it works. I'm just tired of all the new terms for some vague, slightly different sexual meaning.

Although I don't agree that it's vague I totally get your drift.

See there's the rub. The reason for it existing is a good one. The tiny amount of pricks that use it as a pejorative have missed the point.

It's normally only used in situations where people are discussing trans people and issues, and is sort of a necessary word in that context.

Common Core math is effed up; 9+6=15 end of story, not anchor the 1 off of 6 to the 9 to look more friendly as 10+5. It's stupid.

The idea behind it is to show that kids are actually understanding how math works and proving out how to arrive at a solution instead of

useful and innocuous word. (2)

Maboroshi1994
it's not a bad thing or a good thing...it's really just a thing you are. some people on tumblr like to use it as a pejorative term.
Maboroshi1994
it means that your gender conforms to the one you were assigned at birth i.e if you are a male and identify as a man, you are cis-gendered.
iforgetwhat8wasfor
I should also add that it doesn't have to to with a third category, your sexual orientation or what gender/sex you're attracted to. 1/3
ararebeast
Somebody else pointed this out above, but it's a Latin(?) Prefix basically meaning "on the same side of." Your sex and gender are a match.
iforgetwhat8wasfor
Born a male grows up to identify as a male would be cis. An overwhelming majority of people are cis so people don't wanna spell it out.
farwall
Definitely "or". Cis-gender is the opposite of trans-gender. You can be straight and cis, straight and trans, gay and cis, gay and trans etc
Clauddamage
It means a person that identifies with the gender they were born as aka a normal person.
iforgetwhat8wasfor
It means what gender you identify with is the same as the sex you were born as. Think of gender society roles vs biological sex organs. 1/2

DiskettesAndGravy
Not silly at all, just a definition. Cis means you identify with your biological gender, trans means you identify with the opposite.
Psychethos
How is it silly compared to "heterosexual", for instance?
gawdeenie
heterosexual is a sexy time thing, cis is a skin you're in thing. Cisgendered folks self identify as being their biological sex, trans don't
gawdeenie
I think I took your question as a question not a relateable statement
Psychethos
I know. I'm just saying they are very similar descriptive terms. Both are applicable to a majority of the population, neither is "silly".
kumokurin
That's... actually a good point. I suppose my problem with it is the unfounded poison tumblrites have put into it.
rosiethereaver
But it's just an adjective. It has no more negative connotation than "heterosexual" or "white."

Yeah, it's probably best if we ignore people who use cisgendered as an insult, or any other perfectly innocuous descriptive term.

Yeah but people have a terrible habit of applying negative connotations on phrases that would otherwise have none.

i think "normal" has no negative connotation itself, but suggesting that someone else is not normal has a negative connotation
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
But they are abnormal, its pretty clear that they are...
YourLordCthulhu
It is, yeah. But 'abnormal' or 'weird' has negative connotations, and so it's considered kinda rude to outright say so.
vowofloudness
What's normal, left-handed or right-handed? What color is a normal M&M?
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
Right handedness for sure, it has a 70-90% prevalence. You'd probably have to do a statistical analysis for the M&Ms though
vowofloudness
So there's only one normal color and all the rest are abnormal?
OmniscientZiltoid
Looks like we've got some number crunching to do.
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
For the most part, normal just means average. Tumblr should take a stats course if they can even lift that rock they're under.
xzhous
cis- and trans- are used (sometimes overzealously) to ensure that trans isn't equivalent to disgusting.
xzhous
It's about perception to identity. Trans* teens are most at risk for leaving home and doing drugs. Identity is argued as part of the reason
vowofloudness
If you think normal means average, it is you who need a stats course.
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
It's one definition. Clearly I wasn't talking about normal distributions if that's your criticism.
vowofloudness
Can you point me to a source that defines "normal" as synonymous with "average" in the domain of statistics?
misscathy
i just checked a lot of definition of normal and I don't see what else than "common type", "standard" it can be. Can you explain?
vowofloudness
Average is a term in statistics with a specific definition. It is not a synonym for "normal", "common type", or "standard".
