I’m not gonna do anything expressive of my dislike, but I do ask people who use that phrase to pick another.
I know it’s got scientific pedigree and someone approved it for me. I get that. I don’t like it. I don’t like the sound of it, and I don’t like that I’m being ‘othered’ by it.
Sorry. It’s true. I don’t see how, but I know people will be upset by my refusal of their word for me. I’m sorry. And that’s all I can say.
It’s probably because you’ve never considered words for what you are. You’re just you, you’re “normal”. Needing a specific word for something is what “we” do for for “them” because you are the default, you don’t need qualifiers.
Yeah. It strikes me like “moist” does some people.
But it’s my honesty they’re down-voting. It’s all good: it’s still the truth, it’s still my honest feelings, and I can only apologize for sharing something they didn’t want to hear.
I consider it offensive.

Then what would you propose that is not “othering”? Trans and Cis are just opposite sides of the same coin, just like Homo and Hetero are. 🤷♀️

This is 100% a you problem lmao
“pick another phrase”
Such as…?
I appreciate the honest reply. I do get where you’re coming from.
Anyway, out come the pitchforks and 50 replies telling you your feelings are invalid and you’re wrong. And should die in a fire.
Are those replies in the room with us? Where is the reply saying they should die in a fire?

I think it’s you who can’t accept the truth; you’re wrong, and quite silly at the same time.
You shouldn’t apologize for something you’re willing to do.
