We’ve already done a post Tuesday on one of George Takei’s hot takes, but I wanted to get back to this one from Monday. First, “homophobic” is a stupid word suggesting that people harbor an irrational fear of gay people. But worse is “cis,” meaning that you identify with the gender that matches your chromosomes. So it ends up that trans women are women, period, but biological females are cis women. If you didn’t have the “cis” prefix, it would suggest that a biological female identifying as a woman is “normal.”
I don’t buy the first part of Takei’s tweet, and I’m not sure if he’s serious about the second. Do people who “vehemently attack” trans folx worry that they’re not “fully cis”? They fear somehow that a latent part of them is trans?
A lot of the worst homophobia stems from people who repress their attraction to the same sex.
When I see someone attack trans people so vehemently, I can’t help but wonder if deep down they fear they might not be fully cis.

Why else would they seem to care *so much* about what *someone else* is doing to express their true selves authentically?
You have to wonder.

I don’t wonder, but someone states my feelings below.
As an aside, do all the people who claim men are compensating for a small penis by carrying a gun think that “Austin” Hale was compensating for having no penis by having a stash of firearms?
Nobody cared about transsexuals or drag queens for hundreds of years … until they started targeting children.

Bingo.
Yes George, a woman should just stand there quietly and let herself be punched, abused and threatened by men who feel entitled to her rights and spaces because otherwise people might think that deep down she's not committed enough to her gender role.

Do not refer to straight people as Cis
We are not playing your gender game.

No one cares if you’re trans…we care that you’re dancing for kids in thongs, sexually mutilating them, and forcing us to put biological men in women’s bathrooms and sports.
You want to play pretend? Fine. But you don’t have the right to force me or anyone else to play along.

Using the word "cis" to describe me is offensive. I am a man. I am male. You will refer to me as such. Don't misgender me.

Bro. Stop.

When you live your life based on your sexuality, no-one know who you really are, so it's easier for you to criticize.

You came out in 2005. You were nearly 70. *We* aren’t repressing anything.

Everyone who disagrees with me is gay is definitely a new one

You are really so ridiculous.

Whenever I see people attack people for being against grooming children so vehemently, I can't help but wonder if deep down they fear they might be groomers themselves.
Am I doing it right?
— EdgeCrusher (@EdgeCrusher14) March 26, 2023
Stop wondering. No one really cared that men wanted to dress up as women, until they demanded to be called women, access women’s bathrooms, spaces, & sports. When convicted rapists declared that they were actually women & wanted to be moved to women’s prisons enough was too much.

I love it when men tell me why I don't want men in my private spaces 🙄

Quit using the word cis. I’m a straight woman. Plain n simple. We didn’t care George until they demanded our kids as a audience. Why do that ? Makes ya wonder

When such a small part of the population demands that everyone kowtow to their demands so they feel normal, it makes me think they know they’re not normal. Makes you wonder.
