      Don’t call yourself an ally if you call cis people “non trans normal people” while knowing and refusing to use the term cis. You getting so defensive about this really illustrates to me that your allyship stops when it’s inconvenient. This all began because I saw you use some very strange phrasing so I just wanted to let you know that, hey, instead of the harmful mouthful that is “non trans normal person” you can just say cis. Lo and behold, you know the term. Okay, sure, fine, but just calling it “made up”? Never once asked you to say cis. Was just telling you that it’s a word that exists. It never was a problem in my eyes that you didn’t say cis, it was a problem that you said normal.

      Let me make myself clear one last time. I don’t care if you don’t say cis. I’d like you to, I think you should, but it’s not anywhere close to the same as saying cis is normal and trans isn’t.
