Ask Cisgender

03/03/2012

So, if you’ve ever been a part of a forum that is open to cis people asking questions, you will notice that often some of the thread titles indicate some underlying cis issues. I’m talking about “What pronouns should I use for this MtF?” levels of stupidity. Someone got annoyed and came up with the idea for a parody forum. Naturally I had some ideas for thread titles. I thought I might post them here, on my blog, where I can find them later. These reflect the sorts of insane things cis people ask in a trans space, with the occasional frustrated question which amounts to asking how cis people can be so dumb.

So, here we go:

Being cis is just a mental disorder, right?

Being cis is a mental disorder isn’t it?

Cisgenders have a mental problem don’t they?

Cis is really just a delusion?

I don’t understand why anyone would be cis can someone tell me?

Why can’t cis people have therapy for being cis?

Why do cisgender people not identify as cisgendered instead of male or female?

How can anyone know they are cis before they are 18?

How can I spot a cis person?

I am worried I might have had sex with a cis person am I straight now?

Why do cis people insist on forcing their delusions on normal people?

I have no idea what a search engine is, can someone please explain things to me?

Why is it cis people always act like a stereotype of their gender?

No, seriously, cis people are crazy aren’t they?

How can anyone know they are cis before they are 30?

Why are cis people obsessed with gender?

What pronouns should I use for this cis person I know?

Why do cis people keep asking stupid questions without googling anything first?

Normal people don’t make such a big deal about pronouns, why do cis people?

How do I ask my co-worker if they are a cis?

I know cisgenders who are okay with being called cissies so it’s okay to say it all the time, right?

How can someone blindly identify as a gender they were assigned at birth?

Why aren’t people trying to cure cis people instead of letting them be cis?

How can anyone know they are cis before they are 50?

Why are cis people so angry all the time?

And of course:

I think cis people are all crazy perverts and don’t want to resepct them so please justify my insane and bigoted opinions and you can’t tell me off for being so inhuman because I ended this sentence with a question mark?
