I now get, crystal clear why you find Stewart Lee, funny. Why couldn't you just have said that in the first place?

Posting.org doesn't require an account if you just want to dump a pic to link...

There is a history to "down with cis" - it's a "thing" on tumblr where younger folk hang out...

Apparently it originates with a made-up story about a group of trans people who (so the story goes) all jumped off a minibus wearing "down with cis" T-shirts and beat a guy up. Who knows why the story was made up - but presumably it was made up to suggest the idea that trans people are violent thugz and haterz... or summat...

as the story circulated - it was widely accepted that it was totally made up and pathetic - and so the detail from the story - that they were wearing "down with cis" T-shirts (also made up) - became a "meme" (and probably a hashtag) - and was then used by trans people IRONICALLY - shirts were actually made in a life-imitates-madeupstory ironic fashion.

Ha, that's a brilliantly shit story to make up! "Yeah they all jumped off a mini-bus. Yeah, a mini-bus. I don't know why they'd all be in a mini-bus, that's not the point. Yeah, they'd had t-shirts printed." I wonder how long it took people to work out THAT might be bollocks.

Oh well. It's still middle-class graffiti. That is funny.

I can do some mother-in-law jokes if you'd like.

Sorta reminds me of a cousin who went to live in that thurr London. He'd been there a few years and appeared back home for a family "do"...After a few hours drinking, he spent 15 minutes describing how the joke he was going to tell, needed to work....you need to do this in a cockney accent...you've heard of Avon ladies yes?...you all know Max Factor? You know they're after each others markets?

He then had the temerity to present "Did you hear the one about the Avon lady? Max Factor"

Sometimes blood ain't thicker than water and you just have to accept the material was shit and you've made yourself a bit of a c*nt.

Please.
Or do you perchance have a fat wife you can belittle for our amusement?

[bobo the clown]

So it's a class thing. Oh.

You're clearly "in the bubble". You DO realise that 99.9% of people have no fckg clue don't you ? ... & care even less. I'd suggest moving to be honest.

The only thing worse than an elitist in joke is actually being in on it.

Maybe we do all get it. Maybe we know it makes you angry that you don't. We've created an elaborate fiction of nonsense that we pretend makes sense just to hear you rage about "elites".

I don't even like sun-dried tomatoes!!

I'm afraid I'd never heard the word cis. I still don't really understand what Pru finds so funny. However, I did smile when I looked up cis in the Urban dictionary:

Short for cis-gendered, meaning someone who identifies with the sex they were born as. Typically used by whiny tumblr users who complain about not being accepted for who they are and yet bash these "cis" people for being born and being okay with the sex they were born with.

As hilarious a rejoinder as we can expect, i suppose.

[Gary the Enfield]

FFS!



I had to ask my 14 year old daughter what cis was/ is. She explained. It's still not funny.

I feel old. Why does there have to be a specific term for your sexual proclivity anyway? And what's the current obsession with telling everyone about what you like in which hole (or not)?

I don't define people by their sexuality anymore than I define them by the colour of their skin. I define them by how they treat me and my family.

Anything else is bollocks. Or vaginas. Or something.

it's not about sexuality or "holes" or sexual proclivity - the cis thing is about gender identity... they are very different things...

I'm not sure why people who have no need to explain themselves create a new sense of self with which to identify so as not to make those who feel they actually do feel less alone.

Jeez that's unnecessarily complex.

Well, apart from the few thousand Islingtonites for whom it's second nature.

Now THEY really do need to explain themselves.

I can't really be alone in not giving a shiny shit what label I'm given?

The world is full of far more worrying things, isn't it? Like Michael Gove or Rupert Murdich. Isn't it?
