Oh look, proof that “making up words” for ourselves isn’t a new phenomenon.
Dear Cissexism,
OH HEY LOOK AT THIS
Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm that anon with cissexist teacher. It got worse. He shouted at me, asked if I want to be a shit and called me an it. I told my parents but I'm very scared right now. I really don't want to ever see him again. It makes me ill.

anshinwrites asked: Re: fanmail. Honestly? Ask her. That's the best thing you can do. There IS no one-size-fits-all answer for this question, and nobody but she can tell you what to do--and even then, her own preferences for what you need to do might change depending on other circumstances. TALK to her about what to do. That's the only answer you need from the rest of us.

Help?
I got this question as fanmail. Since I’m with a cis person, I can’t really help. Followers?
I have a question. When my (trans*) girlfriend is going through dysphoria, is it better for me to just silently be here, or try to pull her out of it and reassure her? I know this varies from person to person a lot, but right now I’m far away so I can’t just hold her…

Dear Cisexism,
You are an ugly assface who tries to destroy the lives of all queer persons.
You are my motivation to do better.
You will not win.
Kindly fuck off while you’re behind. Thank you

I’m really tired of seeing social justice tumblrs picking and choosing whose identities are real and whose aren’t. Really fucking tired. You don’t get to pick and choose. You don’t get to tell someone their rights come before someone else or play the Well I’m More Oppressed Than You game. You don’t have some magical mind reading ability that lets you read...

Anonymous asked: Hi. I adore this blog and everything that's submitted in a way words can't express. But now I need help. I'm an almost-18-year-old closet transman. Next year I'm starting university in a different city, and it'd be my greatest dream fulfilled if I could start the life I've always wanted. But there are a couple of big problems standing in my way. First: I feel the...

whims-of-a-feminist asked: I love you and wish I had been following you a few days ago when I was getting a backlash of horrificly rude cissexist bullshit for being inclusive to trans* people on the subject of reproductive healthcare by two fairly popular blogs. If I had been following you I probably would have been a bit stronger in the spine area.

Anonymous asked: Re: cis woman dating a trans woman — I'm a trans guy dating a cis guy, so, take this as you will. We both still have lots of feelings for our exes for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't change how we feel NOW about each other. If this is something that you feel you should tell her, then do it, but you should also remind me that you've been there, you've done that,...

Anonymous asked: I'm a cis queer woman dating the most beautiful trans* woman in the world right now. I still have feelings for my first crush on a woman (not reciprocated; that was explored years ago). I don't want to keep this from my girlfriend, but I know she already feels bad/is dysphoric because she feels like she's keeping me from dating "real" women (and her ex broke up with her...

Anonymous asked: Kind of relevant to this blog and I don't know who else to tell but I want to tell someone! This MtF chick at my school recently came out to some of her semi-douchey friends who I was afraid might not be accepting at all toward her, but I overheard them talking to someone about it and one of the guys said "yeah, I mean it's not a big deal. It was kinda shocking but you don't...

Anonymous asked: I just wanted to say that reading through this blog has been really interesting and helped me understand some issues regarding gender identification. One of my friends doesn't identify with their birth gender, so this has been really helpful. Thanks!

Dear cissexism,
These things are not exclusively “women’s issues”:
Reproductive health
Breast cancer
Stop acting like they only affect women.

Yep. Pretty much.
livelaughawesome:
could you imagine if people complained about how many names existed
as much as they complained about how many pronouns existed?
“YOU MEAN YOUR NAME IS SARA? WITHOUT AN H? OH MY GOD WHY CAN’T YOU JUST BE NORMAL AND USE JILL OR JOHN”
Although, now that I think about it, people say that, too. They criticize people who have names like Jaykub or Juleighanne, and most recently,...

Thanks to Tumblr, I’ve learned that I’m cis-gendered, someone whose biological sex matches their gender identity. In other words, I am a woman by both genetics and deed.
Because you’re learning I am going to interject here and tell you that the way you’re using biological sex (not to mention the way most people use and conceptualize the term...
