Isnt that what cis is supposed to mean?

I want off Mr. Bones wild ride.

Cis is the opposite of trans, homo is the opposite of hetero, Cishet is a shorthand often used instead of "normal" because we're all normal just different

Weird thing to say. Cis is gender. Het is attraction.

I looked it up. I get it now.

Good. To be clear, I was not trying to be critical of you not knowing the terms, just the attitude I found gross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Likewise but that's to be expected over text.

Not everyone knows and this person is trying to learn. Let's not be critical.

Sound pretty critical. This isn't the take of someone that's genuinely curious and asking in good faith.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or is it the take of someone who feels frustrated by things they don't understand?

Considering they also said they looked it up and they get it now in response to you 10 minutes before this reply, I don't think what you are saying is in especially good faith.

Getting frustrated by things you don't understand is an acceptable excuse? I saw your spicy reply before theirs in my inbox, that's all. Not sure why you're inserting all this drama into what was basically an very in context conversation.

Frustrated by new thing. Makes it weird

The new thing is this. Don't make it weird.

Okay I understand.

Good. It's not that you didn't know, it's the attitude.

Isn't that the whole point of the post? Having conversations like this regularly.

Getting frustrated by things you don’t understand is an acceptable excuse?

An acceptable excuse for still being here in good faith? Yes. People who say things in good faith can still be frustrated. You can't tell me that's never applied to you.
