The Living Force: Do you come out and tell a person you're dating, when you get serious, that you're cisgendered?
If you're not trans, you're cisgendered. That's just how it is. We can refrain from saying it around you, I guess, but it doesn't change anything, really.

Please don't quote me
until after the current mini-event.. thank you..
I ask you again to not refer to me as that,
and to be fair that makes no reasonable
since as the other person unless they
had never been in a relationship before
would know that I'm in my proper
birth gender, as I'm a guy/male and would
be dating what I'd believe is a female
unless they are trans and didn't inform me...
and if you can't respect someone enough when
they ask you to not refer to them in a certain term
then I'll not refer to you in the term you want/like...
that changes everything... and I don't agree if your
not a trans person you should have to be called
cis gendered, it's not respectful to the none trans
person if you don't ask them or make sure it's
alright with them... so that does make a big difference...
Why don't I have the privilege of knowing if you're your "proper birth gender?"
And for the record, that's an incredibly offensive statement. The proper birth gender naturally being the one you were born with. You're normal, so why should they even have to wonder? Junior, get over yourself.
Well damn, with fronds like these... I mean, if you're going to be patronizing as s**t, why the hell would we treat you as you feel you deserve. Seriously, if you demand to know that a person is trans, I would demand to know if you were cis. It's only fair, right? If you didn't tell me, I'd flip my s**t. I'd feel betrayed because you made a lie of omission. Right?
How is it not respectful to the non-trans? It just describes someone who isn't trans. It's not a swear word. It's not rude. It's just a descriptor. I BALK AT BEING CALLED A DUCK DESPITE MY DUCKINESS.
And I'll always quote Imperial scum. FOR THE REPUBLIC.
