I saw a Fox News alert on my iPhone this morning. It went like this: “The Air Force will not allow those in the Air Force academy to self-identify as “Cisgender”!
I have never heard that word and I was relieved but confused as Fox said the “woke” Air Force was doing this.
At first I wondered what kind of madness was the cisgender identity that even the woke Air Force would not allow as self identification? What could it mean.
Thus I had to look it up and this was so shocking to me:
Definition of cisgender
: of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identitycorresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birthI grew up in a family with a cisgender and heterosexually identified mother and father of the same race (White) who had 2 children when they were well into their late 20s and early 30s and after they legally married with the full support of both their families.— Carla A. PfefferIn a very real and measurable way, cisgender identity is no longer unmarked, universal, or assumed. It is denoted, limited, and in conversation with trans identities—or at least we're moving in that direction.— Hugh Ryan
