At first I didn’t know what cisgendered or cis meant, but I definitely saw it used to describe a group of people non-cis folks didn’t like very much. Of course I eventually learned, but still had a bit of a distaste due to the initial impression.

How long was this "eventually"? I feel like it should be a couple minutes to search and land on the Wikipedia page.

Hmm maybe longer that it should have been, but do you really expect everyone to search for something instead of inferring the meaning based on context?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes? I often look up words I don't know what they mean.

I'm gonna be real with you. I do the same shit. I don't understand something? Well, I have a phone on me so unless it's horribly complicated I'm about to understand it.

We aren't normal in that respect. Most people are happy with their ignorance, or at least that's my observation so far.
