Cisphobia

[tumut]

Hardly anyone is a cisphobe unironically.

Cisphobia doesn't exist, in my opinion. If someone said to me "I hate cis people", it would not greatly affect, alter, or endanger my life. However, if I said to someone "I hate trans people", that can come across as being very threatening and, unfortunately, a large majority of trans people have had to deal with abuse because of their gender identity... So of course saying something like that has a much harsher meaning to it. My life is not endangered because I am cisgender, not at all. There are more transphobic people than 'cisphobic' anyway. And anyway, whilst I do generally think we should all be kind to one another and be more empathetic and understanding from both sides of the argument, this would never happen because human beings are *******s tbh. xD So I mean, yeah, cisphobia doesn't exist. In my opinion.

I agree with this, really, word to word. And like I discussed with her, I guess it really is because Cis people have much bigger of a community and have each others' back, and are really just considered "flawless" and superior. It's a stupid theory, really, but that's just how it has been ever since.

I'm glad a lot of people in the world don't think like that anymore, but there are still people out there who do, and well.. it's a shame, really.

I agree there ain't phobia, but there are as much hate. Also of course these (tumblr) communities helps with creating things that doesn't really exist and makes people believe them.

Also you shouldn't discriminate either group(s)... and yeah no one is flawless. Peace love and respect.

Ok so I'm a huge liar regarding that I wasn't coming back whoops


When a trans person says "i hate cis people" or something it's usually just a vent. But there are "troll blogs" or whatever you wanna call 'em that basically pretend to be the worst of the worst, they're really easy to point out.

As for the 50% thing it's actually suicide attempts not completed suicide, I remembered wrong. But: one two three

The thread isn't that bad now but I always expect the worst when it comes to this stuff so I'm kinda wary on coming back to it

Ah, thank you.

Defined in first post.

If you're too lazy to even click:

Cisgender (often abbreviated to simply cis) describes related types of gender identity perceptions, where individuals' experiences of their own gender agree with the sex they were assigned at birth.

It's in the first post as well.

Cisphobia doesn't exist.

A phobia is an irrational fear.

Someone who is trans has plenty to fear from cisgendered people.

idk, as a gay guy, I don't fear all Christians or all straight people

But if you were generally, it wouldn't be seen as overtly irrational.

I think it has more to do with individual feels and how they would take that one's telling them they are not cis (or whatever related) rather than being generalizing...

When Zephyr drops that mic

Like if there are legitimate cis-hating people there's a very small fraction, and it's even more minuscule when you remember only 1% of the world's population is trans.

I mean I don't either but I'd imagine if someone was directly hassled by Christians (or in this case cis people) most of their life they'd start side-eyeing em a bit. It all depends on peoples experiences and their mentality really.

No, I do agree with that. And that's why I think that cisphobia is real. Your negative experiences will cause you to have a fear of cis people

Yeah, practically this. Then how much you want to generalize and how strong your feels are differs of course.

I'd say it's more somewhat hate and/or annoyance rather than pure fear, but if you've been harassed enough it can probably evolve into some kind of fear if you take it really bad.

Yeah that's true.
I guess cisphobia exists in the literal sense of "fearing cis people", though usually when people talk about cisphobia they refer to it as this super horrible mass-cis-hate that's "as bad as transphobia" and that's why I'm like um no stop talking.

See, I can get behind this 100%. It's just the blatant bullying-type hypocritical attitude (generally found on tumblr tbh) that bugs the sht out of me.
