Samesies. Here for the support and the dank memes. Not offended to get labeled. I'm also questioning if most cisgender people take offense to the label. I feel like most wouldn't. Maybe we're talking about the minority that gets triggered by words that they don't understand. I hope y'all don't rope the whole cis culture in with the haters, because you don't have to be queer to understand the plight of non-binary peoples. Just sayin'.

Yeah I mean I definitely don't understand the whole non-binary thing, to me it seems silly. But they aren't hurting anyone, or affecting my life in any way, so why care?

Some people (I even know one of these types) think "cis" is some kind of slur. It can cause some humorous incidents even, like that time in chemistry class they were forced to use the word cis and trans to describe chemical structures lmao.
