I liked post fixing when it was still underground.
 
You only say that 'cos I nailed your gaffe in Impending Retribution, choxie dear.
 
Pity that you misspelled my name when trying to imitate my famous Fix'd poasts, eh?
 
Just the capitalization- stupid forum turning caps into lowercase.
 
Corollary - all people are idiots in some regard; some people universally so.
 
Corollary: you're an idiot? :p
 
But I already know that I'm an idiot. I just didn't think everybody else was.
 
Cisgender is an extremely pretentious term. I wish that anyone I hear say that in my presence immediately undergo face-to-face contact with an overcooked pastry.
 
Why can't they say 'straight'?
 
If I've understood it correctly, "cisgender" is better than "straight" because its very existence is an acknowledgement to the struggle that transgender-people face.

TraitorFish once used it against a certain poster to suggest that he really couldn't relate to transgender-people's plight because he himself was cisgender. When used in the right context (ie a heated discussion as opposed to everyday talk), it's not pretentious at all.
 
Cisgender is an extremely pretentious term.

edit - hmm, never posted this on another thread apparently, know that I meant to when someone else in an OP and like the first response to the OP brought up cringe-worthy statements or something. Beat you to it by several weeks. But yes, this is the type of thing where anyone who uses the term with a straight face goes into a very small and selective pool of "immediately discredited in any debate, ever."
 
I've never heard of this "cisgender" word.
