CW: CW: transphobia, misinformation, cis-feelings
Funny how some people suddenly decide Latin is offensive.
Cis- has been a scientific prefix for centuries. Chemists use it. Geographers used it. Linguists, doctors and psychologists use it. Cisgender simply means your gender matches the sex you were assigned at birth. It's descriptive, not an insult.
The real discomfort isn't the word. It's no longer being treated as the invisible "default" while insisting everyone else be put into categories.
Science needed a precise term. It found one. Your exclusionary feelings weren't part of the peer review.

Framing matters in #medialiteracy... This Nieman Lab article lifts the carpet on Meta's pandering policy adjustment that enables more #misinformation to flood the zone.
