Hijacking this for a personal question; how do you all pronounce "cis"? I've always assumed it sounded like sister, sis. But I've heard it pronounced kiss as well.
It's pronounced as in "sis". It's an existing prefix, that has been used in technical terms to mean "on the same side" long before it came colloquial for AFAB Women/AMAB Men, and that is the correct pronunciation (same goes for the prefix trans, which is the antonym to cis, e.g. trans-fats and cis-fats)
People who pronounce it kiss do so because they were introduced to the word in written form, and had to guess/intuit how it's pronounced based on spelling.
Yes, I see we are both, definitely, 100% biological humans—and honestly? We share the human struggle: it's not just daily tasks and upkeep, it's Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill 🫸🪨⛰️. As a living, breathing and thinking human being, I relate to having a brain made up of billions of neurons firing at every instant 🧠✨ (this is me pretending to be an LLM pretending to be a robot pretending to be a human)

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
That sounds as a quote lifted from cinema or anime. And my intuition tells me it is but I can't recall it.
It's from the into to the Warhammer 40k mechanicus video game https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WyK7lX4sk0c
Sure, I'll watch it again
Warhammer
Chemical people, biological people,... now we just need nuclear people for the trio.
I have a nuclear family if that helps?
Physical people, mathematical people... philosophical people? Metaphysical people..?
I can see it now
The trans agenda is now seeking a WMD triad, think of the children!!!
im mechanically a woman

WHAT? NOOO 😭
You're joking right? That's some GIF/JIF stuff right here 😭😭😭
You're right, it is sis, just like sister.
True but kiss man doesn't sound half bad either 👀
I'll add it to the list of funny gender stuff that could annoy people alongside m'theydy.
I was already on edge with the hard K sound being implied, but now you have to bring up GIF/JIF?!?!
You monster!
Did no one do high school-level chemistry? Cis/trans isomers?

english needs to go back to fucking runes until you people get that shit right.
Chemical People sounds like a good name for a band or other music-related thing like an album title
Also, hey I don't even take hormones yet but I have a brain and that's biological
And there's the Chemical Brothers, too.
My Chemical Romance takes another, new, meaning.
Yes. Brain. Biological. Don't worry, also have brain. Am very human, see? Normal human talk to human. Biological :3 /s
Please end me 😭

Honestly, that's a good impression 😂
I mean, umm...very human! /s
Chemical Women is my choice, sounds like a badass punk name
the existence of biological women implies the existence of nuclear women
Obligatory "well, biology is just applied chemistry"
ah yes the four genders
I don't like the use of "biological" here, either.
Magic people voodoo people
The most crazy argument is "cis is a slur" it's just so ridiculous.
May I remind you of the Chemical Brothers
Cis still feels too formal but biological seems to cruel
