That's disgusting.
Sure, the way I worded that is. Especially when divorced from the rest of that section.
But I hope it is clear from the rest of that section that I'm drawing a line to separate the idea of CIS = majority default vs. the attitude that CIS is the only valid option.
CIS being the majority default is just reality. Statistics.
CIS being the only valid option is bullshit.
When distilling concepts like that into the shorter statement "cisnormativity is a problem", I feel that nuance is lost. The almost immediate follow up question is "Do you have a problem with CIS people being the norm/majority default, or do you have a problem with the fact that they are the norm/majority default is being used by some to suppress the validity of other options?"
All babies are agender. They don't have a gender identity, because they don't know what it is yet. If you're gonna have a default, which is stupid, why not make it what everyone starts as?
