There Are No Girls on the Internet

CHAPTER

The Importance of Words and Language

The word cis, it does imply that trans people exist and I think a lot of these folks like Elon Musk would argue that in fact they don't you know. To then have a word like white or cis that refers to them is like deeply threatening, because I think it implies that they are not the default they are not normal they're not the standard. A judge struck down an anti one of these laws that denied gender affirming care to trans kids was struck down by a judge somewhere in like the deep south. It made me kind of cautiously optimistic that at a certain point, it doesn't matter if these extremists like it or get it or not they're business right like gender exists.
