Hey! If everyone in a system is cis, do we call that a cistem?

cis people who introduce their trans partner with "my girlfriend/boyfriend/partner happens to be trans" are the weakest link. sorry. yall can just say "my partner is trans". grow up.

i have nothing against people headcannoning that characters are cishet but like, it doesn't say anywhere they are? 🤔 the creators never said they're cishet, they've never said they're cishet, it's just kind of unrealistic for them all to be cishet 😕 idk im not cisheterophobic i totally support it but i just wish people would stop trying to turn normal characters cishet when they aren't 😔 /s

Not to transgender-on-main but cis authors’s obsessesions with achieving peak hyper-femininity for their trans women characters is sooooo boring.

And also transmisogynistic but who’s surprised

A little term I thought of after reading a lot of trans resources on this site: 

Cis-Passing Savior. 

Part of speech: noun. 

Definition: Trans* person who tells other trans people what to do. Often makes sweeping generalizations and assumptions about others’ appearances, abilities, or bodies, and makes “passing guides” pandering exclusively to cis standards. 

They will likely deflect any time they are accused of being problematic, often defending themselves by saying that they aren’t forcing anyone into anything despite often implying at every turn that not “passing” as cisgender is somehow shameful. 

Particularly common in the transmasculine community on Tumblr, these individuals see it as their moral obligation to ensure the survival of cissexism and insecurity in the next generation. They consider their actions to be necessary and helpful. (If you think you’re doing trans men a favor by telling them how to “pass”, you are a Cis-Passing Savior. If you think it is your duty to correct or advise young men on “passing” as their actual gender, you are a Cis-Passing Savior.)

Example: 

Guy 1: “Uh, Man101 just told me I need to change my hairstyle.” 

Guy 2: “Because they think you look ‘like a lesbian’? Forget about it, man. He’s a Cis-Passing Savior. There’s nothing wrong with how you are.”

Why are other people's pronouns the hill on which so many cis are willing to die? Pick a better hill!
