Bias in description.

cissy (plural cissies)

Alternative spelling of sissy

(slang, rare, often humorous, sometimes derogatory) A cisgender or cissexual person.

Cissy is not rare according to Google trends, it is not humorous, and is always used as a derogatory slur for a heterosexual person. So much so that social media platforms are now sanctioning it as a slur. This apologia for a slur would read as poorly if you added 'slang, rare, often humorous' to the entry for other slurs. Unacceptable. 2001:8003:2998:5100:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B 00:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Response to 'Bias in description.'

Completely and UTTERLY incorrect.

It has NOTHING to DO with Cisgender and pre-dates it by YEARS (here is an early reference to the former: trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/217632391?searchTerm=you%27re%20a%20cissy, and here is the origin of the latter: huffpost.com/entry/what-cisgender-means-transgender_n_63e13ee0e4b01e9288730415).

It is an alternate spelling of 'sissy' (from SISTER), ie. a weak or effeminate person. 'Tough' women can even refer to 'soft' women in this way. I hate people who come along and play revisionist with history. They did it with 'The Asteroids' between Mars and Jupiter (I updated the relevant Wikipedia article referring to this term, with a link to the article talking about these); the know-all then came along in Discussion saying it was NEVER called that and was always called 'The Asteroid Belt'.

Well I guess someone who plays computer games all the time would believe the Holocaust wasn't real either. What annoyed me was that this arrogant fool thought he must vandalise it and simply deleted my entry. And Wikipedia administrators ARE TOO SOFT TO MAKE ANY DISAGREEMENT worth pursuing, as I found out. To the ignorance of the greater populace. 42.62.229.149 10:58, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Read the entry carefully. It already has two different senses: one is a form of "sissy" and the other is a modern shortening of "cisgender". So I don't see what you'd want to change. I see: the etymology needed splitting. Now done. Equinox ◑ 13:25, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
