After reading some book, once again I remembered that loving someone with all my heart isn't really for me. Not that I didn't know it already, I just kinda forgot after living like machine or robot for years. Or maybe because another one of my siblings gonna married soon, and I'm pretty sure some busybody gonna ask me about my love life during the the related events.

I definitely don't "identify" as "cisgender" and would feel a little offended and uncomfortable by other people forcing their value systems upon me if I was called one.
Not that I want to ban someone from offending me, but like mentioned above, you can't have rules going one way but not the other. If I can't call you a disgusting faggot then you can't call me cisgender just because according to the rules you wrote one is more acceptable than the other.
wait, you guys seriously think the word 'cisgender' is an insult? if you want me to say "non-transgender" every time i talk about you that's fine, just seems a little like I'm saying that not being trans is abnormal if I say "non-transgender" though and "biological men and women" ignores the oddities of chromosomes that sometimes lead to someone not appearing to be the sex indicated by said chromosomes. it's a lot less messy
you don't have to identify as anything, but if your body developed in a "masculine" way without hormonal guidance and you think of yourself as a guy, for instance, it's just a word for that.

Of course it is. It's you imposing your twisted idea of gender onto others. Just because it makes sense according to the lore you've prescribed to doesn't mean it's somehow a neutral term.
The real words are: men and women. All else is pixie dust in your head. It's not that complicated.

It was designed to be an insult by queer theorists in order to 'other' standard gender expression that had been accepted as normal for millions of years.
Its whole usage is to put down 'Heteronormativity' by linguistic / socialist / maps / queer acitivists.
Only by deposing hetronormativity and pushing homonormaitivity / maps normativity can the LGBT be free of oppression by the evil cis gender overlords that have oppressed the gays and socialists for centuries.
Many of them also reliably wander into arguing for maps acceptance because we must accept their sexuality or some shit.
'Cishet comphet scum should die reeeeee'

Not personally offended or insulted, but yeah, pretty much this. It's a little like forcing everyone to be all about God all the time and identify as Christian because they're American. Not offensive but intensely annoying.
Like, you don't even have to categorize default because it's default. It's a pointless word.

Pretty much how I feel with all this current stuff. Reminds me of the ages ago when we used to complain about theology being crammed down our throats.
I almost miss the Christians sometimes, I feel like they would go away if I told them to screw off. Now people will drop the ground and start autistically screeching, crying, and pooping themselves and then lodge complaints or some shit.
Someone called me cis in some shitposting group a while back.
They/them kinda deal got mad when I called them bro.
You know, because he was a dude.
I informed him that it wasn't the sweet burn that he imagined it to be.
If you like Chris Farley in drag I'm gonna call you a guy.
I don't want to be conscripted into participating in someone else's mental illness.
Got enough of that in my head already thanks.
words like "bro" or "dude" never bother me, i've never agreed with people who get that upset. i agree the word 'cisgender' is kind of forced, but i don't think twitter censoring it as "hate speech" is remotely reasonable I can't imagine having skin paper-thin enough to be set off by the word "bro" but i know there are people like that even somewhat relaxed 'cis' women call each other bro
my opinion is that everything is contextual and it's best for everyone not to assume malice

When I say "offended" I mean it more in the sense of "annoyed". Like if I had the option, I would've preferred them not dragging me into their nonsense and try to force me into a situation where I either have to give my implicit approval or compliance to their beliefs, or have a conversation I have zero interest in having with them. It's roping me into something I don't want to do just to appease their own ego. It's bad manners.
I would compare it to someone being really, really insistent about me being a Capricorn or a Libra or whatever, except taking it so seriously that they get angry if I don't acknowledge my Capricornianism or label myself a Capricorn. Except worse, because in the current cultural climate they know and I know that it's also literally "an offensive" as in an attack maneuver. Its purpose is to check whether I will react and show my cards as a non-believer. It's like if someone went around totalitarian soviet Russia and kept asking people their opinion on capitalism when they'd rather be left alone.
