The other side of his comment is that he is willing to be pulled into a physical struggle over being labeled a gender.

What a weakass anti-philosopher / anti-therapist.

Patient: "Doctor, I feel like my coworkers are labeling me ... what should I do ?"

Dr Peterson: "Have you considered beating them to death ?"

what a fucking loon

I have never heard cis being used as a slur.

I actually have. Mind I don't have a problem with the word in particular but I've read it used as a slur on the Internet and in real life.

It's all about intention imo. Many people use it just to clearly communicate but some also use it with hatred.

Doubtful that Kermit Peterson was giving honest tactical advice to the left here, but he does have a point: β€œcis” is pretty bad branding when the biggest social group that slows down trans rights is the red-meat alpha-male boomers for whom β€œsissy” was the ultimate insult of their teenage years.

Petty and eyeroll-worthy? Yeah. Also an unforced error on the part of trans rights? Probably.

It's literally the Latin counterpart of "trans" nobody in the trans rights community decided on that word. Trans in Latin means "on the other side of" and Cis means "on this side of". Cisgender - Transgender
