Listen, everyone. It's so simple. We just need a neutral word to describe people who are not trans. Okay, the prefix "trans" is Latin for across, so the Latin word for not across is… you're not going to believe this.
obviously the people that object to the word object to needing a word for "non-trans", not that they have some particular objection to the word "cis" itself.
it's important to understand your opponents' point of view if you want to be able to destroy it effectively
