I'd rather have a more honed argument than what I provided. I hate the arrogance and presumptiveness and bubble-world aspects of "don't say 'cis' because normal is just normal" grillman style arguments so I'm seeing red here.

    The sheer arrogance of that poster comparing cis "normality" to sunrise versus the rise of other stars really pissed me off. That user's bubble world is apparently light years away from trans people.

      I also love how he feels called out for being boring just because gay and trans people exist.

        There's even a tiny hint of potential chaser in that word choice: that user as default/normal ("boring") and maybe seeking excitement from distant exotic (but still otherfied) beings. kombucha-disgust
