Since it's kind of on topic, what the hell is this cis shit that's popping up lately.

Opposite to trans. So like how you have hetero and homo - not normal and homo. :P

Is this 'neutral' like as a car transmission works, neither forward nor rearward actions?

If you have to ask, you must be a cis-y.  :P

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Never!

Or at least, not until I make BB beat his head into a wall in real life with it.  :frusty:

You know, most of the time Valmy is pretty sensible, save for his preference for the French over the British.  But every once in a while, you realize that he belongs in Texas.
Please explain to me the sense of forcing somebody to enter a gender if they do not want to.  I do not get the vital public interest.  I get if they go ahead and enter different genders all over the place, like Malthus suggests, but that is entirely a separate issue.
If you're asking me as a man, then I would say don't ask me.  Ask the universe.  They are what they are, and it can't be changed no matter how many homos wish it could be so.

If you're asking me as a god, then I have made them in a certain way, and they don't have the right to tamper with My design.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

and when their remains -if any- are dug up in a 1000 years by some intrepid archaeologist they'll get labeled as male or female after all.

Such little imagination.
