It's a crazy time of living.
You know you're a cis male, do you know that?
I'm a what?
A cis male.
Cis male?
You know what that is?
A cis male?
I've never heard that.
A cis male is a person who was born male, but identifies as male.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
It used to be called a male.
So now you're a cis male.
Now it's called a cis male.
It's just an effort to marginalize you, the 99.99%.
I don't want to be marginalized.
I was just in a club, and I was talking about transgender, and I said, I
remember when Bruce
Jenner, when he won the decathlon, someone said, she!
So I had to go, oh yeah, she won the decathlon.
Oh, I see.
But when he was a he when he ran the decathlon?
No, he was always a she.
Oh, he was always a she.
Oh, I see.
So a woman won the decathlon in 1976.
Right.
Without any of us.
I'm ashamed to say that I'm very confused by that.
In terms of sort of what one should say, I don't want to cause offense, but I
don't
feel like I, was there a memo that went wrong?
Just to explain exactly what we should say.
Because I know now there's also the idea that we remove gender at all, right?
So there's no him and her, she and he, it becomes, what do we say?
But then if you say, well, I've, I always thought I was a woman, you know, I
always, well, then
what does that mean?
If there's no difference between the genders?
Right.
Well, how did you, how do you feel if you, if you had a cock and balls, right?
And that would push you towards maybe you're a guy.
Right.
So, and then it has to be, I'll be inside.
I felt I was a woman.
Right.
You know, and so what does that mean if there's no gender, if there's no
difference?
Yeah.
You know that, that you are a cis male, have you ever heard of that term?
A cis male?
C-Y-S-M-A-L-E.
So what it means is that you are a man, you're born a man.
Well, as far as you know.
As far as I know.
And you identify yourself as a man.
Yes.
That's a cis male.
Now I don't understand, where does that, is this a new phrase?
Yes, it's a way of marginalizing a normal person.
So you're a cis male.
What does a cis male mean?
And this other person's a trans, so you're equal.
She's a man that thinks she's a woman.
You're a man that thinks you're a man.
It's completely equal.
Oh, so everyone's, it's all fluid.
Yes, everyone is self-identifying.
Yes, and I'm all for that.
I think what I felt was I suddenly felt like I was causing offense unwittingly
by simply not knowing what the terminology is now.
You know, I feel like I'm a bit behind the curve on this.
Well, I wonder if we could have, like, there could be a lecture.
Maybe you could do an informative podcast.
I'd love to have a member of the LGBTQX to you.
But anyways, we're not here to talk about this.
You know what I mean?
Because people are going to start filling up your Twitter feed with...
Yeah, I feel like I'm already in trouble.
You're still really from the start.
I feel like there's definitely things I've said already that I wish I could
take back.
And I don't know what they are.
I just know they're out there.
I am firmly on the side of womanhood now, but I am not a woman.
Nor will I ever be.
Three sentences later.
I use the woman's restroom because I am a woman.
I change my gender.
I'm a very specific to female because I am a woman.
So there's a little confusion there, right?
Not for me, what's wrong with you?
