== "hate speech" == 

 Can someone please explain this? 

 :The origination and use of cisgender can be compared to the reclamation of profane words and hate speech, such as nigger and queer. 

 How do they compare? "Cisgender" people are not "reclaiming" this word for themselves, are they? Rather, this is a word much more likely to be use by transgender people to describe those who aren't, and a more logical comparison is with use of "cracker" by black people or "breeder" etc. by gay people. — 06:47, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
