It's obscuring. Just get a word for the concept and be done with it. We didn't always have the words Heterosexual or Straight (as we use them now in the vernacular). Can you imagine running around calling people Not-Gays every time you wanted to express that concept? It seems laughably absurd.<br /><br />I have some thoughts about trans or cis "as an identity" but I haven't quite whittled it down to comment-size yet. :)EmKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086522799678977282.post-65584569131025229622009-07-09T11:49:18.859-04:002009-07-09T11:49:18.859-04:00(As a cis blogger.)(As a cis blogger.)RMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239084819919682523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086522799678977282.post-79497648209863745632009-07-09T11:47:53.410-04:002009-07-09T11:47:53.410-04:00Great analysis of the situation.
