Seems like you're getting butthurt responses, but I rather think it's annoying, too. Not really because it's enforcing a label on me, but mostly because I don't see why the majority always needs a label to legitimize a minority - especially in the case where it's the vast majority. I just don't think it's a useful label like, say, "straight" could be, and besides, most people have never heard the word "cis" (I myself have no idea how to pronounce it). Just saying non-trans or something if there is a need to label people who aren't transgender seems a lot more logical (and feasible).

Cis is pronounced like "sis" (the shortened of sister).

I'm basing this off the fact that cis and trans are likely pronounced the same way they were in organic chemistry where cis refers to "same" and trans refers to "opposite."

[othellia]

Really? I always see people talking about it as an acronym for "comfortable in sex."

[insanenoodlyguy]

That's a neat evolution, but I always heard that the initial person who proposed it was basing it on the latin as anon refereed to above.

[sarillia]

That sounds about as credible as "fornication under consent of the king" for "fuck".

[kallanda_lee]

It's not credible, but it sure is glorious.

[(Anonymous)]

Well there's tons of people who still believe that. Not to mention Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden.

[diet_poison]

nah, it's Latin :D

[(Anonymous)]

I have no dog in this fight and I give no shits if I'm labelled a cis person, since it's a descriptor, not a perjorative term, but I had no idea of the etymology of cis and trans, so yay, I learned something today!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't feel like it's necessary, but I don't see how it's a problem, either.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a Latin prefix, and the Latin pronunciation of the 'c' letter is 'k' (Caesar = kaj.sar, Cicero = ˈkɪkɛro, that's the actual pronunciation ). But for some reason English pronounces the Latin k as an s (like in Caesar = /ˈsi zər/ ) so I've no idea.

I like the Kiss pronunciation, it sounds cool. I'm a kiss man.

[(Anonymous)]

Basically classical Latin pronunciation is a hard k sound, but church Latin and a bunch of other later Latin derivatives soften it one way or another, and since it sounds more natural that way, eh.

[(Anonymous)]

So you don't use the organic chemistry pronunciation?

Cis is pronounced like sis there.

I always thought that's where cis was derived from. Since there are cis and trans bonds with trans referring to the opposite side while cis refers to the same side.

[kamino_neko]

I always thought that's where cis was derived from.

It is.

[diet_poison]

I mean they weren't derived from OChem, rather the molecular terms (ah, OChem was my last ever college class; I just finished it this summer!) and the gender terms came from the same Latin root.

I mean, you probably know this, but just wanted to clarify since I wasn't sure from your comment.
