Cis is Not a Slur Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

There are some people out there (dunderheads, let's say) who believe "cis" is a slur and not just an accurate descriptor. They're entirely wrong, and not only do I have the proof, I know exactly why their undies are in a wad over it. The answer may not surprise you! Artist and activist Leo Wright joins us to discuss gender attachments and social upheaval! Card-carrying queers, boxes being no good, sea lioning, the motte and bailey fallacy... we've got it all.
