L.J. is the cis Minipang replied to Derick

@derickr "woke" kind of proves the point, though, because it's AAVE that was stolen from and twisted around to target Black people and people who are insufficiently antiblack and fashy. The attempt to distort the meaning of "cis" is likely a ransacking by the dominant culture of trans culture and thought. @vagina_museum

@derickr @vagina_museum I've actually never seen the take that "woke" is a *slur*. just that it's often used in an appropriative way and in those instances it says certain things about the beliefs of the sayer: usually that they think being respectful to marginalized people is bad. the use of "cis" also implies some things: e.g. that the person saying it believes trans people exist and (usually) that we're a natural part of human diversity. definitely not a slur though lol
