The term "cishets"

I'm no fan of the way it's used in popular sj circles. It's frustrating to me, because 95% of the time it's being used in a derogatory way, meaning even if you just want to use it casually for brevity's sake (because 'cisgender and heterosexual' is an awful lot more letters to type and my lazy hands like brevity) in a discussion where everyone knows what it means, half the time it just makes you sound like a tool because most people use it toolishly.

And of course, outside of discussions where everyone knows the abbreviation, what's the point?

Popular tumblr sj ruins more or less everything it touches and that makes me sad.

 

It's another ridiculous and pointless label. It will only add to the confusion and anxiety that many people experience as they try to find a way through the fog of labels that are doing the rounds on the internet.

 

I don't have a problem with the term itself, but it's always used by the most annoying people so I get annoyed when I read it.

 

Sounds like a really stupid term.

 

Likewise here.

I had no idea this was actually a thing.

 

Another fad label.

Get rid of the labels. All them f**king fad labels.

NOT EVERYTHING IS A CATEGORY OK.

 

Just sounds like another term meant to make cisgender/heterosexual people feel guilty. These are the people who give feminism a bad name.

The more I hear about Tumblr, the less likely I am to make an account there. I don't care if all my friends have Tumblr accounts, that place is just sad.

 

I usually just go with "breeders"

1) Like somebody said before, the first time I read it I did it as "cis-shit". Cishet. Cishet. I'm sorry. I cannot avoid reading a "sh" sound. Maybe it's me being a cisgender person but it just sounds like an insult. Please don't use it.
2) What is up with bashing on the heteronormative system or whatever you kids call it nowadays? It's... just how things are. There are far more hetero/cis people than there are trans/non-straight people out there. Like FAR. That's the reason why the media has always shown straight couples and cis people 99% of the time. Because it's our nature, it's the common rule between us. Yes, we have to start accepting people as they please to identify and a little more of representation in the media will always be good(as long as it is not offensive or a wrong stereotype), but I don't see why we have to demonize heteronormativity. Isn't like 80% of the people you know from childhood cis and straight?
Gosh, Tumblr everyday just gets me more stressed out than it entertains me or distracts me. Should abandon my account, I can't find a person who reblogs nice things without there being a high possibility of them being a sjw or something as annoying. What you say is ok, but I'm not here to read such things, I'm here to get distracted, hon.
