This is more common still for trans people who are earlier on in their transition but the media doesn't talk about it. This violence was intended for a trans person so why do people only care when it impacts the cis? This ultimately says that violence towards trans people is ok but that it is a problem when those who aren't trans are impacted.
This is more common still for trans people
Not sure about this. There's way much more cis women that trans women, so attacks on "trans women" could have more cis women victims just because of the number if cis vs trans women.
I see your point totally... the main people that are suffering are trans and that matters. This headline hopefully brings awareness to cis people, and maybe even make anti trans people think "hang on, there's a risk to ME". But it does miss that trans people are at horrible risk in so many ways
And so it continues...
cis lesbian
I guess I don't know what cis means. Pretty sure I'm clear on lesbian, but I guess you never know.
Cis is short for cisgender. It's the antonym of transgender. Has nothing to do with sexuality.
Cis-het would be cisgender, heterosexual.
Cisgender means "gender match (birth) genitals"
Trans comes from "on the other side" as cis comes from "on the same side".
