Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.
The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.
So what’s a random term that annoys you?
PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.
“cis” I feel like it’s an extra term for “straight”. The “default” for lack of a better term (and one that isn’t othering) is near the not trans & not gay part of the gender / sexuality spectra. To me everyone in that zone is “straight” (boring/default/whatever).
“begs the question” because people exclusively use it wrong. Just say “leads to the question” or “poses the question.”
And I’m still really salty about everyone giving up on the term “literally” to allow it to mean its exact opposite.
cis and straight have clearly delineated meanings and are both useful terms. sounds like a you problem
There is a better term, it’s ‘cis’
What’s your preferred term for “not trans”?
They suggest that we use “straight” to mean both hetero and cis, and then use different terms for the “other” people.
Cis and straight are… Entirely different axes, though. How would you describe someone who is cis and gay, or trans and straight while applying “straight” to both sexual orientation and gender identity?
There are plenty of cis gay folks. “Straight” just doesn’t work if you’re trying to describe non-trans people.
When the richest manchild in the world
outright bans people from his “radical free speech” cryptofascist safe space for saying “cis,” maybe it’s not a good look to be that worked up about that particular prefix.
