@KatyMontgomerie @annamwh
I have another question and, as I enjoyed our exchange, thought I would ask for your opnions.

This one is about the cis label.
(saw your earlier post Katy)

1/
As I don& #39;t believe in gender ideology, I don& #39;t like to be called cis.

In the same way I don& #39;t think it makes sense for everyone who isn& #39;t Christian to be asked to call themselves a heathen.

The qualifier is for the outliers, not for the norm.
2/
By using trans as a qualifier, your separate the outliers from the norm. It& #39;s a clear and effective way of doing this.
There is no need to use a qualifier to offset the norm.
But this seems to be offensive to trans people somehow?
3/
And so it& #39;s put on the majority to qualify themselves against an ideology they might not believe in, and if they refuse this get labelled all sorts. Bigot, TERF, you name it.

I& #39;m happy to be respectful of trans people even though I don& #39;t believe in gender ideology, in the

4/
same way I& #39;m respectful of another& #39;s religion, even if I think it& #39;s nonsense.
As long as it doesn& #39;t hurt anyone, believe what you want, cool by me.

So why do trans people not reciprocate that respect by not putting their labels on me?
