Ridiculous use of citations.

[Lester316]

It's Wikipedia does anyone really need to ask.. as a University Professor once told me Wikipedia not have 'articles' it has stuff.

Besides anything that cites this: "Ogas, Ogi (2013-02-02). "What Do Shemale Porn and the Twilight Novels Have In Common?". Psychology Today. Retrieved 2013-11-26." is not good.

It is not really an article, more a paragraph with links. I do wish people would stop using the word Cisgender as nobody knows what it is meant to refer to.

Who doesn't know what cisgender means? The cis part is the Latin opposite of trans, it's a perfectly acceptable term to use, and should be used to describe non trans people

If you stopped most people on the street they would not have a clue what cisgendered means, and if you look at the Wikipedia link to the concept in the entry under discussion you find this jumble of contradictions without meaning:

Cisgender (often abbreviated to simply cis) is a label for those whose experiences of their own gender (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender) agree with the sex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex) they were assigned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_assignment) at birth. It may also be defined as those who have "a gender identity or perform a gender role society considers appropriate for one's sex."[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender#cite_note-1) It is a complement to the term transgender (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender).

Who doesn't know what cisgender means? The cis part is the Latin opposite of trans, it's a perfectly acceptable term to use, and should be used to describe non trans people Most people don't know...Most people don't give much thought to Latin....not to mention that most people don't concern themselves with this subject. As for the should be used part? Naw...If you NEED to define me,I'm Chuck Adams,that's the only definition I need.

:iagree: Yup ,

[sukumvit boy]

:iagree: Yup , most people have no idea what it means because they have had little or no occasion to encounter it and even less need to use it in everyday writing or conversation.
However , like most 'technical jargon ' it gets bandied about in the context of scholarly writing or discussion , sometimes excessively. But here , in the context of trying to clearly define very specific gender identity roles , I think it's the most exact word for the job.
Certainly people who follow this forum should understand its exact meaning and expect to encounter it with some frequency.

I understand the points you are making, but the prefix Cis as an alternative to Trans begs too many questions, one of which is why people not only insist on choosing their own own terms with which to define themselves, but sometimes condemn those who refuse to agree with them. Cis is a case where the Urban Dictionary has it as both a derogatory term and as an appropriate term, so the one thing Cis does not do is settle the argument, for example when you wrote -But here , in the context of trying to clearly define very specific gender identity roles , I think it's the most exact word for the job. Exact is only exact for those who choose Cis as their preferred term, to those who do not, it is not exact at all. And is one of the reasons I did not engage with Ed_Jaxon's thread.

[holzz]

nothing controversial there...lol.

Kindly explain what is?

Since i'm sure many TS women here or admirers whoever else would not deem that offensive.

What IS offensive is the pornography article on wikipedia. Saying that porn is imagery designed to sexually stimulate..wow, i'm gonna protest outside Jimmy Wales's office for that....

Anybody know how and what can be improved on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsexual_pornography, I would reommend editing it,

Transsexual pornography (also referred to as shemale porn, tranny porn, or t-girl porn) is a genre of pornography.[1][2][3]

Correct.


Fans of transsexual pornogaphy typically identify themselves as straight.[4][5][6][7]

Correct.


Shemale porn has become one of the largest, most popular genres of porn among heterosexual males.[5][8] It may be that the attraction is based on the contemporaneous presentation of stereotypical anatomical cues of femininity along with the visual trigger of a penis, often a very large penis.[5]

Correct.


Trans women are most often featured with male partners, but are also featured with other women, both transgender and cisgender. Common phrases used to refer to these individuals are "chicks with dicks," "trannies," or "shemales", although these are generally considered pejorative slurs among trans women.[9][10]

Correct. Nothing false or controversial stated.

Nothing wrong there...

it doesn't say all trans people or trans admirers should be gassed or incarcerated, does it? lol.
