While debating H.R. 1028, the “Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act” in the House Judiciary Committee on 3 February, Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman declared the term cisgender to be a “made-up word”.
“Cisgender is a made-up word. That means nothing,” Hageman said. “Do not call me cisgender. I am a woman.”
Rep. Hageman went on the declare that the term “epitomises the Left’s ongoing effort to rewrite the English language in order to change the debate and destroy civil order”.
made-up word
Yeah, just like all other words. That’s how language works.
Shhhhhhh!! No facts please! You’ll scare it!
The rules were you guys weren’t gonna fact check
The reason why they want to stop people using the word cisgender is because they want to stop transgender people talking about themselves on an equal plane with their cisgender counterparts.
“normal”
Fuck that. Fuck this “normal” bullshit that places transgender people as lesser. I am not lesser. I’m not greater. This is the kind of thing I’m talking about.
I agree. That is why they fight it so hard. Everything else needs to be the “other.” Not just trans.
Every word is made up.
When your smile looks like that, don’t.
Republican said let’s talk about pointless nonsense while videos of other Republicans raping kids circulate. Goddamn. Fuck you at this point. Honestly, fuck dems too. I don’t even know what to do. Monsters…
I’m afraid of the lady in the image.
She really does look like a movie villain
She’s going to suck the life force out of you if you get too close.
She then unhinged her jaw and swallowed a baconator whole to replenish her fivehead grease.
if this is their take on cisgender people, I wonder what they think about heterosexuals
Didn’t you hear her, dammit?! She’s a woman! Not cisgender, not heterosexual, not human…not even an earthling. A WOMAN!
all my homies hate neologisms
I prefer to only use words coined in the 17th century or earlier
“internet” is a made-up word that means nothing, it’s just an attempt to rewrite the English language to destroy civil order
Sorry, slight clarification: Internet is a portmanteaux word. So it is a made-up word made-up of two different made-up words.
I swear to God, man, that woman is looking at me from inside my screen. I have a horrifying feeling that she is actively perceiving me and aware of my existence.
Yeah, there’s definitely something uncanny about that photo.
Ok, cisgender.
I republican’t with this shit.
Ah, sounds like haggy’s in the pee stain files
Wyoming always sends their “best”
Surely what she meant is that she’s actually a trans woman and that she wants to be referred to by her gender of choice
Man she got the crazy eyes, how tf u out here electing people with crazy eyes? you know they crazy!
You seen the FBI guy yet. Cocaine is a helluva drug.
