This is good but cis people still need to push him to keep his promise on protecting trans people that he made during the campaign and stand up to Mount Sinai and Langone.

What the fuck is a cis people, we are you so obsessed with people's sexuality, isn't people good enough? Why does a certain sexuality have to do that, why can't anyone?
Cis people are people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. It's basically anyone that isn't transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.
It matters in this contect because while transgender people can advocate for their own rights, they don't have the leverage needed to succeed unless cisgender (cis) people help.
No but why should I, why is this the most important problem that should consume my time and energy, while there are 1000 of other global problems. Mass starvation, war, poverty, racism, anti trans, Eco terrorism, getting fucked by politicians. What is so bad in new York for trans people, is it forbidden to be trans, I actually don't know because I don't live there, but it seems like it has a healthy community?
"Cis" is not a sexuality. The only person going on about sexuality is youuuuuu.
It's important to remember there is no default or baseline for defining a human person. With race, if someone just says "person" without specifying race/color, does that imply "white" (or whatever other default) to you? And if I just say "people", does that mean straight people only and not gay people?
How about gender? Are "people" just the men, or just the women? Cis/trans is the same. There is no default here, just a bunch of people with different backgrounds trying to do their best.
Also, if it just so happens you're one of the folks who considers "cis" a slur, I'd ask if you feel the same about the most accurate terms for your gender, race/ethnicity, etc.
Okej but why do you want to define a human person or whatever, in this scenario? I don't care about cis/trans or anything, I don't identify as cis or man or woman. But grouping people based on things they have no choice in and then telling them because you are born like this, it's your responsibility to do whatever I ask of you, sounds weird to me. People are dealing with their own issues as people who identify as trans are.
You seem confused.
You're a cis people dumbass
Red flag!
A cis person is the oppossite of a trans person.
What the fuck is a trans person and a cis person?
