Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pothole purge saw nearly 8,000 craters filled in a single day – the same number that would usually take New York’s Department of Transport (DOT) a week.
This is good but cis people still need to push him to keep his promise on protecting trans people that he made during the campaign and stand up to Mount Sinai and Langone.
What the fuck is a cis people, we are you so obsessed with people’s sexuality, isn’t people good enough? Why does a certain sexuality have to do that, why can’t anyone?
Cis people are people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. It’s basically anyone that isn’t transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.
It matters in this contect because while transgender people can advocate for their own rights, they don’t have the leverage needed to succeed unless cisgender (cis) people help.
It’s important to remember there is no default or baseline for defining a human person. With race, if someone just says “person” without specifying race/color, does that imply “white” (or whatever other default) to you? And if I just say “people”, does that mean straight people only and not gay people?
How about gender? Are “people” just the men, or just the women? Cis/trans is the same. There is no default here, just a bunch of people with different backgrounds trying to do their best.
Also, if it just so happens you’re one of the folks who considers “cis” a slur, I’d ask if you feel the same about the most accurate terms for your gender, race/ethnicity, etc.

“Cis” is not a sexuality. The only person going on about sexuality is youuuuuu.

A cis person is the oppossite of a trans person.
