Something about the word cis sets them off in such a weird way when their whole identity is proving how cishet they definitely are through everything they say, do, and own.
I'll admit to being that kind of idiot that felt "cishet" was a strangely ugly word to describe myself. I was never outwardly against it like this goober though.
I got over it really quick once my idiot brain allowed it to click that it was short for "cisgendered heterosexual." I never claim to be a smart man, but I try to learn when I can.
Tbh if "cishet" sounds ugly to cishets, I consider that a feature. Give the cissies a tiny taste of all the absurd slurs they've been hurling at us for like, near a century.
This is fair, also partly why I never said anything about it, I wasn't gonna get any sympathy from the people that deal with infinitely worse on a daily basis.
Before I knew it was a Latin prefix that's generically used in chemistry to mean "same", my first encounter with it was defined as "comfortable in skin". That was immediately as benign to me as heterosexual. From like age 3 I've never felt the need to question my sexuality, for as long as I can remember I've disliked masculinity but have never felt an impulse to change my body or gender performance. I was just like "oh cool, there's a participation trophy word if none of this applies to me."
For like a solid year I thought that "cishet" was some sort of Tumblr-insult and meant to be pronounced like "CiSHIT". It lead to a lot of eyerolling from me whenever I read it, until it somehow dawned on me that it meant "cisgendered heterosexual".
It’s a mentality that they’re normal, default, and having to put any sort of prefix in front of their gender identity calls that “normal” status into question. The prefixes are for the Others, so by throwing cis in front of man or woman you’re treating them by the same standards as trans people are treated and oh boy they do not like that.
sentence supposed to even mean

Then we can be comrades
I like the cut of your jib, fellow dumb guy.

Same, actually, lol. I feel like we need a hyphen or something.
