It must be something in the air: we seem to be having another round of the Great Cisgender Debate. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the question is whether or not it is appropriate to refer to people who are not trans with the term cis, short for cisgender, as trans is short for transgender.You can read it here. And while you're at it, there's my companion piece down below, this post on cis and this post on the linguistics of cis at Billerico, and genderbitch's take on helen's post as well. When you're done, you'll be as exhausted about the subject as I am!
I'm off to the museums! Enjoy!
Exhausted... and a bit sad.
