And you declaring that calling you out on your cis privilege is "bigotry" against cis people:
See what I mean. I hate how "cisgender" and "privileged" are used as insults. This is pure bigotry.
Read that, and then re-read the quote you supposedly agree with:
Cis isn’t offensive. It’s a chemistry term for “on the same side” and opposed to the chemistry term trans, “on opposite sides”. It’s use for people is a non-insulting metaphor and a pun extending from the pre-existing use of “trans”. So basically, anyone getting het up about it is demanding to own the unlabeled default. They don’t want to be treated equally to trans people, they want to be the “normal” ones. Well at that point, there’s nothing more to say except “no”.
You do follow exactly that model of behavior, everything from getting het up about the terminology -- in a SOP, by-the-book privileged attempt to prevent oppressed people from discussing their oppression and your privilege by taking away the words themselves -- to declaring that the problem isn't that you're privileged, it's that trans people are disadvantaged (i.e., defining yourself as "normal").
You do all of that. I had hoped, when I saw your reply here on maevele's LJ, that it meant you had reconsidered the nonsense you were spouting earlier this year.
Sadly, you haven't -- since you refuse to recant your privileged bullshit when offered the chance, it's pretty clear that you still stand by it, and think that "cisgender" and "privileged" are terms used by bigoted trans people to insult poor "normal" cis people.
And your only response to me is to call me a bad person who thinks everyone who disagrees on everything is the Enemy. No, sorry, cis lady. You're wallowing in your cis privilege, just as did you in March. Your personal attacks on me won't make it any different.
