Cis is short for cisgendered. In other words, you didn't alter your gender in any way, shape, or form after the character creation screen.

Straight in your case is a boy that likes girls.

Rest = European ancestry dude.

Hope that helps.

So.............normal. Normal things don’t require special descriptive prefixes.

In theory, you can be a straight white man that altered his sexuality from female to male in order to pursue straight relationships.

Honestly I hate the word cisgender as it implies that there is a special condition. The distinction is necessary in the dating world, however.

I will never understand why new terminology bothers some people to such an extent.

When discussing any occurrence or condition, uniform terminology is useful. Regardless of whether one likes it, there exist numerous variations on gender identity. It is helpful to have a term for each.

“Well, dammit, let’s just sat ‘normal’ then!!!!”

OK, but normal “what?” There are dozens or perhaps hundreds of traits on which an individual can be either “normal” or “abnormal” (whatever each may mean).

So, we could say “normal gender identity” (8 syllables) or we can say “cisgender” (3 syllables). The latter is new, but cleaner and easier.

You, on the other hand, are simple to understand. You like being argumentative so you’ll just say stupid shite that you otherwise wouldn’t. When’s the last time you used “cis” in a conversation? Nobody uses it except for people obsessed with intersectional politics. I never would have figured a Texas “libertarian” for one of those, but I’ve been wrong before.

Marriage isn't "two consenting adults loving each other". Both groups would be excluded in a definition of marriage that Jesus gave.

My dad predicted the Republicans would eventually regret taking in all the religious fanatics for the 1980 election. He was against it at the time.

I'm a Christian Conservative. It's a different breed.

I like how orthodox (traditional) Christianity has become religious fanaticism these days. Shows how far secularism has gone.

See... there really aren't, though.

There's male. And there's female.

Anything else is just made up to make people... I dunno... feel good about themselves so that they don't have to seek help or worry about what's wrong with them?

Routine conversation in small town Texas seldom involves discussions of gender identity. I use the terminology when it is appropriate to the situation. Probably not more than a half dozen conversations per year.

Of course, I do not discuss bovine genotype and phenotype with most people, either. The infrequency of need does not preclude me fro using THAT terminology, either, when appropriate to the circumstances.

Or we can say man or woman and laugh at the confused narcissists tantruming. Shim is also a convenient one syllable word if you’re looking for input...

Exactly. And when is “cis” appropriate to the situation unless you’re stoking the fires of intersectionality? It’s ok if that’s your thing; I don’t think you’ve had anybody fooled here since long before I started posting.

Cultural consensus doesn't change truth.

I love everyone and will do my best to show love and compassion towards everyone no matter who they are, but I don't have to accept sin as normative, even if that makes me an outlier.

A lot of Christians hide behind their faith to treat homosexuals like pieces of shite compared to other groups of people that could be lumped together based on their specific sin. Just my personal experience. Pretty wild that since homosexuality is some grave eternal sin, that Christ himself did not teach once against it. He literally did not mention homosexuality one time in the Bible. You would think our God we follow would at least teach against it if it were such an elevated form of sin.


Yep. These kinds of “Christians” usually have little to show for themselves other than their faith. Therefore, that’s what they use to feel special and superior. Just like trailer park klan members.

If those types of Christians are trying to hurt others to make themselves feel special, they don't understand the grace of God.

At the same time, those Christians who actively support certain categories of sinful behavior also don't understand grace, nor do they understand His holiness.

In the US, it would be something like Christianity or Republic form of government.

What we informally label people in the US typically does not conform with traditional definitions of political ideology. For instance, “liberal” and “progressive” in the US is not at all aligned with what those terms actually mean.

I read that three times and I’m still not sure what you’re trying to say.
