    I came here to say this. So many use, “cis” as though it’s a slur then demand support from the people they are throwing the slur at. I’ve been an ally my entire life but I’ve been labeled a transphobe twice over the last several months because I expressed a belief that wasn’t a full throated endorsement of the extremist dogma.

    EDIT: The downvotes prove my point. Anything other than absolute unquestioning adherance to the totality of the dogmatic belief system is unacceptable. Keep burning those bridges.

      I’m native and I’ve been called a Nazi by white leftists this election cause I don’t agree fully with what they say.

      The left really went off the deep end this election and became just as intolerant of different people within their own side, as they are of the right.

        Are you cis? Cause if not how would you know?

        I had to have a serious talk as a person of color with my gay sister in law and her wife, after she would casually refer to straight people as “breeders”. They couldn’t understand why I was connecting that word with racism, even after I explained what it meant in the slave South.

        I’ve rarely seen a tweet or post that begins with “cis men…” That ends in anything but negativity

          I’m Canadian and the American left is wild this cycle. Hate. Name calling. Even racism. We’re all very disappointed around the world.

            Who is this, “we’re all”, that you’ve appointed yourself spokesperson for? Given the poll numbers you’re speaking out your ass.

              Oh I was backing you up cause someone name called you, and got immediately turned around to be a name calling jerk lol. The toxicity spreads. Why are people so offensive to strangers online? Cause we’re faceless I guess? Easier to be inhumane and offensive when you can’t see the person huh? Real mature
