Right-wing people always think that 'offensive' is what we care about. As if 'offensive' is some magic word to get us to stop doing whatever it is that's pissing them off.

@girlonthenet@mastodon.social who is actually offended by the word "cisgender"?

The problem is not 'offense', it is 'harm'. If the word 'cisgender' was genuinely harmful to people, then I would reconsider using it. But it isn't harmful, it's a neat and simple way to explain what I mean when I talk about my own body and gender identity. https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/offence-is-not-taken-assigned/
