Damn, I can't believe I'm gonna be the one explaining that logic. I'm not a huge fan of that word : "cisgender", but what you just said made me realize what it was required. 

It has not been invented to marginalize normal people. It has just been used to avoid saying "normal people" for people (straight from wikipedia) "whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not transgender."

Because trans are not "not normal". So it's an attempt to stop marginalizing trans.

Now, if the term was not used as an insult or in a pejorative way, that would probably help its acceptance and adoption.

That being said, while I'm happy for all the non-cisgender-cissexual people and supportive of their fight for acceptance, I do miss that time where things were easier on that front. 

I don't know, maybe because my generation fought for not being labelled I just don't get the newer generations who can't get enough labels to identify to their group.

 

I wasn’t meaning to cause a ruckus. It was a joke Norm McDonald told on a podcast that I found funny, maybe I was the only one 😉
