I’m bi, and cis does feel kind of weird. Wtf does it even mean? I’ve never felt good about the term.

@LootGoblin42 @UngodlyAudrey As a root word it means "on the same side as" in the same way trans- means "on the other side from". Do you know what makes you uncomfortable with it?

I don’t know. I’ve just always felt like it was weird to come up with a term for “normal” people. I don’t understand why it was necessary. Maybe it’s just me, and maybe I’m getting old, but I don’t understand the obsession with labeling everyone and putting them in a well defined box. Sometimes I like to dress in girls clothes, but I hate the term “cross dresser”. Can’t we just be ourselves without all the labels?
