it was made more recently than 1 week ago, but it was removed. The post was asking about how big of a deal “cis-phobia” and “hetero-phobia” are. The OP said they are told all the time that “cis-phobia” is just as big of a deal or a bigger deal than transphobia, etc. so they were asking if this is true.
Oh wow. Like I can’t speak to the struggles cis people face for their cisness, I’ve never been cis. But also I’ve never seen somewhere that passed a law saying that only men are allowed to have an abortion or that only AMAB people are allowed to have estrogen.
I suck at dancing, and I am envious of the wonderful accessories women “get” to wear.
On the flip side, I can fit a whole phone in my pocket and I’m stupid strong (for a sedentary desk jockey). So I can’t really say that I’m struggling over here.
lmao. The hardest form of “cisphobia” you’ll find is mild annoyance and the hardest form of transphobia remains INSTANT DEATH by people who hate you so…
CisHet male. I can’t really even imagine Cisphobia harming me. I’m more worried about dying to a blue ringed octopus, and I’ve never even been to Australia.
Though ironically in this video Zizek raises this part of the Communist Manifesto:
The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered forms, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation, distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away; all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind.
Based on this sentence he argues being transgender is not revolutionary but actually the ultimate form of capitalist culture whereby social categories, even the “solid, stable” gender categories, are rendered into something fluid and presumably gender also “melts into air”.
He then argues that because Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Tim Cook “fanatically support transgender toilets” (??), the capitalist class is friendly with the trans rights movements, and so the trans rights movement is not only not revolutionary, it is “typical of late capitalist subjectivity with this infinite plasticity and so on and so on”.
they are told all the time that “cis-phobia” is just as big of a deal or a bigger deal than transphobia
This is mind-blowingly stupid. These people did not know the term cis three years ago, not even in the context of organic chemistry, and now it’s a bigger problem that transphobia.
What recent post? The most recent is 1 week old and has nothing to do with this.

So it’s suffering on both sides. I refuse to quantify suffering. All suffering is bad /s

I’m going to buy me a blue ringed octopus and name it Cissy just to mess with you now.
[editor’s note: they are too lazy to actually do that]
But haven’t you seen Zizek’s scary non-binary soldier with a “die cis scum” tattoo!? 😱

That’s one hell of a sea lion
I think I don’t get that turn of phrase. Can you explain?
It’s a reference to this comic that became a slang term for the general category of behavior that it focuses on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
turns out it is very easy to lie to people
nono its true there was even a bus once /j
oh, yeah, that’s just true! all the buses around me hate cis people
Oh dear, I saw that.
And immediately looked away.
This is mind-blowingly stupid. These people did not know the term cis three years ago, not even in the context of organic chemistry, and now it’s a bigger problem that transphobia.
yikes
Ah okay, thanks for the info!
