Of course; everything’s different. My point is when people you take issue with direct a name at you, it’s natural to expect push back.There's a big difference between a word like "cis" which is a newer word with little baggage used for clarification purposes and the n-word which has a very long and steeped history. Totally different roots and totally different intentions
I guess only time will tell; but there are lots of words I find offensive that has been deemed socially acceptable; E.G. People of color (due to its racist roots) Black people use of the U-word, etc. but I suspect this change is due to effort by activists and is a little more than just a natural evolution of language.My point this whole time is that times and language are changing, and many people such as myself are using words that I guess you find offensive, but if things continue as they are right now then that will just be the way English evolves. What then? Will you eventually stop being offended and just accept the word's usage or is it just so offensive to you that you would just continue to feel the way you do now?
No. But then; It doesn’t have to be.Is the word "cis" really on the same level as the n-word? Is it THAT offensive?
