Seeing what you've posted elsewhere and your very ignorant and non-accepting views of transgender people, I'm not inclined to put very much stock into anything you say on the subject.Lightknight said:The term is entirely unnecessary. How many other disorders need a unique term for other people who don't have the same disorder?
I think the intention is to avoid saying "Normal people" in contrast with trans people. It's a good intention but not necessary and the term they used has become offensive to people. I mean, I don't want to be called "cis". Sounds like a condition or like a cyst. Non-trans would be simple and explanatory enough to not require explanation. Like non-downs or non-schizophrenic.
It would be nuts to try to have a null equivalent for every condition. Sorry, but being transgender is having a rare condition and as such requires the special term to denote it. Not the vast majority of other people with a gender identity disorder. If transgendered people find the term offensive then we simply need to come up with another term, not impose another term on everyone else to soften the fact that they have a condition.
That said, "other pepople with a gender identity disorder" as you said is plain ridiculous, first because gender identity disorder is an outmoded term, gender dysphoric and gender dysphoria have replaced it with all professionals except for verified quacks. But also anyone with gender dysphoria technically falls under the broad classification that is transgender. There is just so much wrong with what you say and seem to think is the truth it astounds me.
