No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.

While debating H.R. 1028, the "Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act" in the House Judiciary Committee on 3 February, Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman declared the term cisgender to be a "made-up word".

"Cisgender is a made-up word. That means nothing," Hageman said. "Do not call me cisgender. I am a woman."

Rep. Hageman went on the declare that the term "epitomises the Left's ongoing effort to rewrite the English language in order to change the debate and destroy civil order".

She then unhinged her jaw and swallowed a baconator whole to replenish her fivehead grease.

When your smile looks like that, don't.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

Ok, cisgender.

[–] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Surely what she meant is that she's actually a trans woman and that she wants to be referred to by her gender of choice

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 18 points 18 hours ago

Every word is made up.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

Ah, sounds like haggy's in the pee stain files

made-up word

Yeah, just like all other words. That's how language works.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Shhhhhhh!! No facts please! You'll scare it!

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 18 hours ago

The rules were you guys weren't gonna fact check

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 20 hours ago

Republican said let's talk about pointless nonsense while videos of other Republicans raping kids circulate. Goddamn. Fuck you at this point. Honestly, fuck dems too. I don't even know what to do. Monsters...

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I swear to God, man, that woman is looking at me from inside my screen. I have a horrifying feeling that she is actively perceiving me and aware of my existence.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, there's definitely something uncanny about that photo.

The reason why they want to stop people using the word cisgender is because they want to stop transgender people talking about themselves on an equal plane with their cisgender counterparts.

Fuck that. Fuck this "normal" bullshit that places transgender people as lesser. I am not lesser. I'm not greater. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. 

I agree. That is why they fight it so hard. Everything else needs to be the "other." Not just trans.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

if this is their take on cisgender people, I wonder what they think about heterosexuals

[–] III@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't you hear her, dammit?! She's a woman! Not cisgender, not heterosexual, not human...not even an earthling. A WOMAN!

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

all my homies hate neologisms

I prefer to only use words coined in the 17th century or earlier

"internet" is a made-up word that means nothing, it's just an attempt to rewrite the English language to destroy civil order

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Sorry, slight clarification: Internet is a portmanteaux word. So it is a made-up word made-up of two different made-up words.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 11 points 20 hours ago

I republican’t with this shit.

[–] vpol@feddit.uk 22 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I’m afraid of the lady in the image.

[–] Dragonfruit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 22 hours ago

She really does look like a movie villain

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

She's going to suck the life force out of you if you get too close.
