I actually really like the term 'cissexual' and related terms, because I feel it makes 'transexual' less of an alternative from what is normal, and more of an option that is also normal.
To me it sounds like it'd make a great insult, just because the word itself is easy to spit at someone.

Virtually any word can be spat at someone insultingly.
It's just that most words would get you laughed at if you used them as an insult, you human
I am at least 83% sure that there are places on Tumblr where that would be a legitimate insult.

Virtually any word can be spat at someone insultingly.
For polysyllabic insults you need a very good short syllable headed with a sibilant, fricative or plosive consonant, with an intermediary aspirant sound like 'k', 'kr', 't' or 'x' e.t.c. ending in a hard consonant for combos or a vowel/diphthong to end.
When you also string it together with these 'p' 's' and 'sh' sounds, you get the ability to begin spitting it out like someone with a lisp who's been stung on the tongue by a bumblebee and is dying from anaphylactic shock, cursing the world with their last, insulting breath.

SUHSEKSUALS sounds like something you could scream at someone with a mouth full of blood.

Can I have a link to any of these alleged SJW tumblers? I have never seen one, and I think it would benefit my understanding of the situation to experience it first hand.

I now feel like I need a movie clip with somebody screaming this when they have been beaten up.

they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the raving confessions of a mass murdering cannibal from a recipe to bake a pie.
Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

They're not relevant to this. I don't care how much you've associated them with this in your mind because of one shared behavior. And we can't have an actual discussion about this if the only thing you're interested in talking about is how much you dislike some irrelevant person on the internet.

Uh... you do know that they are where the conversation STARTED, right?

And every single time the conversation moves away from them and starts getting near productive territory, people bring it right back. Let's talk about actual trans people! No wait, otherkin and die cis scum.

I understand neuroscience is complicated stuff we don't know that much about as yet, but why, in cases where your sex is unambiguous, undergo a sex change if you're mind is still very much that of your prior sex? How does this factor in for those who are atheists, and on that note, what are the religious affiliations statistics as a whole? Yes, I'm googling that last one, but there isn't too much information apparently.

Isn't being transgendered a mental/physical disorder?
I find it abhorrent that there are people who could deride someone for disorder they were born with.

I think they should be helped by medical science and not ridiculed.

That's kind of the debated thing, is it natural or a choice? And of course, some of the worst folks on tumblr go very far in abusing the notion that it's not a choice (see but do not further discuss: Otherkin.)

That's the thing--WHY IS IT IMPORTANT if it's natural or a choice?

More importantly, why does it matter whether it's one or the other? As far as I'm concerned, it's a physical disorder, sure, in that they've got the wrong stuff downstairs. But I think that's not quite what's being got at.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
