    It is impenetrable jargon

    Lol, what are you, illiterate?

    Cisgender and heterosexual are really simple to understand, basically every American learns the second term in science class for fucks sake

    And with TRANSgender rights in the media for 10 years now only an idiot wouldn’t be able to at least make a good guess on what CISgender might mean

      If you tell Americans outside cosmopolitan cities they must declare themselves publicly as “cis het” or else they’re a bigot (I caricature but only slightly), then you should expect to lose elections.

      And American elections tend to affect other people in the world. That’s why lots of us wish you would let up a bit on this nonsense.

      Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation. I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.
