It's pretty predictable that these type of identity groups start to turn on each other.

"The criticism comes from cis-white gay men who have never gone through half of the things I have gone through in my life,"

What on earth is cis white?

Cis-white is someone born white, whereas someone trans-white transitioned from non-white to white. Like Michael Jackson.

What’s going on? BAME? That article needs a trip to acronyms anonymous.

Asling as it remains peaceful and doesn't become a violet protest.

I will bear with you as you explain that.

Couldn't be more woke if they tried. Coming soon, adding a 'P' to the end of the alphabet soup.

I have been working among gay girls and guys for so long in the art, publishing and music community for so long (40 yrs) that I can imagine just how annoying stuff like this is to folk who have been totally accepted by everyone around them. (Well OK, 90% accepted). This is just some kind of grandstanding and it will provoke a massive backlash against so many years of great understanding.

People acting like people? Who'd have thought it?

If we're not careful, bickering will start to become a thing amongst straight people too.

And not as predictable as you attempting a sly dig.

BAME - Black And Minority Ethnic. It's a pretty common term.

cisgender - denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex.

Both a google search away.

And not as predictable as you attempting a sly dig.

Indeed.

No idea but, provided they put on a bit of lippy, they're probably more welcome at Manchester Pride than uppity lesbians.

The quote was cis-white. Google not very helpful.

It explains what the cis part means although I suspect you already know that and just want something else to moan about. It's an obvious variation on 'white cis-male'.

It changes daily but no excuse not to keep up you insensitive ****s.

I got rinsed at work for suggesting you'd be brave to wear cycling jerseys with rainbow stripes. Correspondent had no clue that rainbow stripes predate any of this and need to be earned.

That is all.

Bring back the day when CIS- Trans- defined which side of a double bond the priority groups were on.

Bring back the day when scientists learned Latin so they understood the meaning/derivation of the terminology they use.

There's a whole CIS building in Manchester, on the Ring Road.

One of my happily married gay friends will have nothing to do with this. Can't stand it. I don't blame him.

I had no idea there was an interest group for trans-vitiligo people. Learn something every day.

Seems odd to me to dilute their message of a spectrum of gender and sexuality by adding race into it, which seems to be on a very different axis to me. Why not add hair colour as well? Won't someone think of the gay gingers?

But then I'm cis-gammon so probably not the target audience.

I think the lines on the flag are very... straight. Does this give off the right message?

I think this whole sorry debacle is discriminatory towards those of us who are colour blind.

Oppressing us with your bright pigments.
