Meet a congregate of "don't use cis ." Among them are TERFs , people who don't know Latin, cis people clouded by privilege, Wikipedia , those so transphobic they associate their negativity to the word and not the actions of cis people and gay men like Mr. White who think with their sexuality, by being gender non-conforming or something, which would be their gender expression , can't possibly understand what it's like to be cis.

That's when I'm haunted by the similarities between him and Rachel Dolezal. Let's face it, after a limitless reign of oppression it's kind of uncomfortable knowing you're apart of those abled, white, rich, cis, straight and/or male dominating classes. You should use your privilege to dismantle injustice, not try to hide your responsibility to be better.

But when you turn your focus from fighting for those rights to attempting to separate yourself from the oppressive class, you're doing a disservice to what you attended. And I apologize for dragging this "transracial" crap on. There's some things you need to know, however.
