Time To Retire "Cisgender/Cissexual"

The first person I heard use the cisgender/cissexual was Laura Blake aka Laura Masters, a militantly self-avowing  transgender sister.

She was a very loud and very abrasive voice on the Usenet back in the late 1990s haunting soc.support.transgender and several alt. groups.

In the sad and sorry history of the creation of the ideology that has become gospel for both the TG Borg Collective and for TG Inc., it sometimes seems as though the most pernicious ideas have come from a handful of people.

Laura Blake/Masters was one of that elite, with ideas that might have seemed good on the surface but really aren't.

Cissexual/cisgender is one of those terms that using post-modern jargon merits, unpacking.
