AndrewGravesSVSkiing is sick and every person should feel welcome in it besides Rob Katz.
AddiY’all sound like my grandparents. Tranny has been used as a slur for a long time and the idea that that slur means something else to you in no way changes what it means to people who are harassed and assaulted for being trans. If you want to be inclusive then it’s important to understand that if there are trans people around you that hear you saying tranny it’s probably associated with trauma. I get that a lot of y’all have never experienced the hate that is directed at trans people but if you are willing and knowingly going to transphobic around me I’m going to knock you the fuck out. That shit is wack.
Piss_BoySolution: make a slur for non trannies to rebeliate
GrandThingsBro you hit that rail like a cis
meth_manRemember when we all used to wear tall ts and act like idiots
ah the good old days where politics and skiing didn’t intersect
snomasterThat's actually my beef with the op. Sure, we can stop using a word we've used for a long time because it overlaps with an offensive word...
But what about 'cis'?
Why come up with another label [that I've yet to see used in a positive way]?
It's bs. I've started calling that word out when I hear it and hope others will too.
Icant_kfedGet fucked tranny phobee

IsaacNW82calling everything gay and white people blatantly saying n**** was far more common then too. just sayin
meth_manare you one of the millennial crying type that picks apart everything to find something you don’t agree with
IsaacNW82I'm whatever straw man that helps you feel better about yourself
TOAST.I think what some people are missing out on/and maybe I'm also misunderstanding, but even though saying tranny in a skiing sense isn't offensive, the word itself may bring negative emotions from somebody that has been called it in a derogatory way. When skiing I just want everyone to be having a good time, so I'll try to stop using it, but it's not always easy to cut a word out of your vocabulary.
AddiI ski on Mt. Hood, and don’t go being openly transphobic around me. Odd way to out yourself as a bigot or to tell others you wouldn’t stand up for what you believe.
MiIfHunterThere is
It’s called newschoolerz.com
check it out
r00kieCan someone give me a definition of cis? Seen a lot of the super liberal, Reddit hive mind type, tweet length arguments use it and like you said, never in a positive way.

SavageBiffI think if we continue in this direction the English language is gonna run out of words. The whole world is turning into sissy’s… wait… can I say sissy or is someone offended? Not gonna use “sensitive” bc that isn’t strong enough.

Jemsok it would probably be best if this thread was deleted
skeirmanPLOT TWIST: you leave thread instead of trying to get it deleted.

bertBertsonOut of genuine curiosity, can you elaborate on why you don't like the term cis?It's literally just 'straight' but referring to gender instead of sexuality. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of imo, like, the vast majority of the population is cisgendered.
*TURBONERD*Not going to waste my time sharing my thoughts on the broader subject because it’ll just make me angry, but as a somebody who is trans and lives in probably the most queer-friendly city in the US, I have no fucking clue where you’re getting the idea that cis is said mostly as an insult, like it’s an equivalent to ‘cracker’ or something. It’s literally just somebody who’s not trans and the idea that it’s primarily used in trans circles to denigrate cis people is just laughable.

snomasterbut true.
*TURBONERD*No, it’s not. I can’t prove that you’re lying but from assimilationist queers to lesbian separatists I don’t think I’ve ever heard somebody do what you’re claiming.
skeirman"cis" people are literally in here telling you directly that this is their experience.

hi_vis360Personally I'm just gonna use a different word, no need to get bent out of shape about this. I'm not going to cancel you if you still say tranny, cause it's not worth losing friends and dividing the community over shit like this. But IMO using a different word or just saying transition really isn't that hard.
skeirmanReally dude? No clue? non-"cis" people use the term all the time in a negative way. You cannot possibly be unaware of this.
Frankly, I think it is offensive and should not be used anymore.

mobadisYou will never be a woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
I can continue if you please good sir, it’s a 10/10 copypasta.
