    Yes everyone would be cool with trans people and not bigots if only they didn’t use silly little acronyms

      I’m absolutely cool with trans people (basically don’t give a shit about your age, color, gender, who you love, rich or poor, I just care that you’re nice), I’m annoyed by the acronyms and PC trends, for sure.

          An acronym is a word which is formed by the first letters of a name for something, such as “laser” (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) or “radar” (RAdio Detecting And Ranging).

          “Cis” isn’t that. It’s a Latin word which is the opposite of “trans”.
