Well this will fix the various social crises in that country for sure.
I’m not American, but I’m in one of the many countries whose political narrative is shaped by the global political and cultural haegemon.
This specific story is of course irrelevant, but the broader indication that a significant portion of their population is eager to vote in a barely masked group of genocidal fascists, who have spent a couple of decades consolidating power seems globally relevant to me.
‘TX’ is an abbreviation of ‘Texas’. ‘Cis’ is an abbreviation of the word ‘cisgender’. Cisgender is a person who identifies with the sex that was registered for them at birth.
Yep. Like I’m a cis guy. I was assigned to male at birth, and I’m perfectly comfortable with that.
Other people are trans, or intersex, or non-binary. Biology is messy and we’ve got lots of variety.
Note: I might be missing something, because I’m not super familiar with all of it. I just wanted to add a little more info. I think it also helps for cisgender people to talk about this stuff too, to help normalize it. So, I chimed in.
Good breakdown, there’s also gender fluid, which I believe means the gender you feel most comfortable being identified as can change. There are also neuter and newly invented pronouns, which defy the binary that many of us grew up learning about.
There’s also a tremendous amount of variety within each label, even cis. Like I’m cis male also, but even between the two us we probably have different feelings about what it means to be essentially male
I was sipping my coffee and looking out the window listening to the song birds, and then I worried about a trans kid in a school play, now I don’t have to worry thanks for taking care of that. What is next…men dressing up as women to play in Shakespearian plays??
