There's been a debate raging over at Pam's that no one here at Bilerico has been willing to touch with a 10-foot pole: Is it OK to call non-transgender people "cisgender"?
Well, the debate is mostly a small group of gay and lesbian cis-people who don't particularly like the word, and everyone else who either likes it or is OK with it in certain situations. I don't know if who gets to speak for the hundreds of millions of English-speaking cis people out there, but since most people don't even know the word exists, it's worth having this debate now.
