Not wanting to be referred to as cis, is just as ridiculous as not wanting to be referred to as straight. It just means “not trans”. The women who don’t want to be referred to as cis are TERFs, so their opinions are irrelevant.

Trans women want to be referred to as just women, and biological women don’t want to be referred to as Cis women, so other than female, what is there?
I agree that I get the ick from female when referred to by certain men, but at this point, I don’t see another option.

Is it just as ridiculous as not wanting to be referred to as trans? Why label what something is not rather than what something is?

The problem is female and women aren’t grammatically equivalent, so you can’t just drop one in place of the other anytime you want. It bugs me when people say woman president. Imagine electing a man president. The correct word in that case is male. I don’t care about anyone’s politics. I’m just getting tired of gimpish language.

I find your assertion that anything resembling “thinking” may occur at any point with such people either very generous or quite naive 😋
