"Cis and cisgender are therefore not neutral, impartial words. Journalists should not use them of people who do not use them of themselves." It's funny, because I no of no trans people who refer to themselves as "trans identified males/females" Left, Trans Journalist Style Guide, right: Sex Matters
cis (adj.)
Last updated Aug 24, 2023

Short for cisgender. Using cis as a stand-in for cisgender is the direct equivalent to using trans for transgender. Nonetheless, some cisgender people object to its use.
cisgender (adj.)
Last updated Aug 24, 2023

A term coined by a biologist and used to describe someone whose gender is exclusively the one they were assigned at birth. Use this term rather than normal, typical, etc. when contrasting trans people with the broader non-trans population.Cisgender, or cis
People who believe in innate gender identity use these adjectives for people to whom they attribute a gender identity that is the same as their sex. Using them implies that you think there are women of both sexes, and men of both sexes. This belief is not universally shared, and is not reflected in law.
People who do not believe in innate gender identity usually do not regard “cis” or “cisgender” as applicable to themselves. Moreover, many feminists object to the implication that they feel some sort of affinity with the sex stereotypes they regard as defining gender.
Cis and cisgender are therefore not neutral, impartial words. Journalists should not use them of people who do not use them of themselves. To do so is to present those people as within a belief system they do not share – rather like calling an atheist a “heretic” or “apostate”, which suggests that they know God exists but reject him, rather than disbelieving in God altogether.
If cis or cisgender is used by a contributor, or in a quote, it should be explained with a definition that does not assume belief in innate gender identity.

As anti-ICE protests continue in LA, I want to remind folks of the risk the Gestapo poses to disabled individuals. Alma Bowman and Rodney Taylor are suffering medical neglect in ICE custody. Ableism & anti-immigrant sentiment have caused folks to turn away from atrocities. We must speak up.

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
