Trans people on Feabie tend not to be tolerant of people who identify as biological males and refer to them as "CIS":males. If it doesn't matter what you identify as why do the trans people get so offended. Here's what CIS means---A "cis male" or "cisgender male" is a person who was assigned male at birth and identifies with the male gender, aligning their gender identity with their biological sex.
PrincessOmelette:
First of all - ''cis'' is no insult. It is a completely normal and neutral term to closer describe someone's relation to their gender. It is the counterpart of ''trans'' and just like ''trans'' it is an adjective. ''cis'' stands for people where the gender assigned at birth aligns with their actual gender. ''trans'' stands for people where it doesn't align with their actual gender.
And ''biological male/woman'', although it may have its place in science - in social context it is a wrong and invalidating term. Because at the same time you call yourself biological, you tell the world that trans people are not biological. Which they are. This term is usually used by transphobes and right winged humans.
So, in your case, if you want to describe your gender, just say "man", or if you want to convey the additional information "cis man".
Also I recommend you to read up on the topic and usage of language regarding it. To not hurt or dehumanize others in the future.
Munchies:
Never met a person who thought "cis" was an insult that wasn't also transphobic.
Edddde:
We have freedom of speech and often what people identify as influences their understanding of what a person considers themself to be. The problem is people are prone to labels, From a social work perspective labels shouldn't be important. Everyone is entitled to an opinion so I will keep it at that.
