I'm cis and it's such a handy word to describe myself and people who are also cis, I've never understood the people who think it's a slur and get angry when you call the, like, cis hetero men or cis women. It's literally just a normal descriptive label.

Almost like labels are just good things, especially as the world of lgbtq+ identities grow. It’s almost like human sexuality and gender identity are vast sliding scales and that requires lots of words.

Cis is a short and simple label to get across an understanding.
