Is it normal that i'm cisgender but transphobia pisses me off so much?

I had to look up those words but I would say it's perfectly normal to be against injustice anywhere, even if it doesn't affect you. Like I'm against racism but as a white person I've never had deal with being the target of it... I'm against people who hate muslims even though I'm Christian... etc.

I really can't stand any sort of bigotry, even types that are socially acceptable.

But one thing that's probably relevant here is that it always strikes me as especially sad when a member of discriminated-against group X turns out to be a bigot against discriminated-against group Y. You'd think maybe a little solidarity would be in order. But nah, apparently not.

Yes, it's normal. That would make you an ally of the Trans community. Out-group allies can play an important role in changing social attitudes and teaching people to be more open-minded.

I wouldn't call it a phobia, but is it wrong for me to be mildly creeped out by he-she's and she-males? Its a very mild feeling, easily gotten over, but still there.

I'm just waiting for someone to coin the sexual equivalent of the word racist. Not sexist, that doesn't really apply here, I guess.

Fuck I don't know. Now I'm confused. Thanks IIN. :/

that just means you are an alli, you support the community!

What's a Cisgender?

My only problem with it is how offended they get when you mistake their "gender". If you look like a guy, I assume you're a guy. Most people aren't transgender and I don't see how I can see you as an equal if you're making me feel bad for not asking each of the hundreds of people I meet every year what their preferred gender is. You're just going to make me afraid of encountering someone like you, don't be so fucking sensitive, you have no reason to be if I comply. Hey, my mistake.

However, I generally don't care and don't notice. I have seen it happen in my own neighborhood to men that made fantastic looking women, people would shit talk them and many guys would refuse to talk to them because they were afraid they they would be hit on. Yeah dude, because you're worth the trouble.

It's kind of sad that we are living in a country where women are allowed to vote and hold public offices and men can be stay at home Dads and do a FANTASTIC job but people still force their beliefs of what a male or female should be on others and often turn around and shit talk stay at home Moms for not being strong, independent women and getting jobs outside of the household or refer to more masculine men who shoot guns and drive big trucks as backwards rednecks. What a joke.

My intuition is that if you actually use the word cisgender to describe yourself, in fact if you use the word cisgender at all, then you are not probably a trans or homosexual yourself.
