    Really love the idea that “cis” (which means you’re the same gender you were at birth) has anything to do with heterosexuality. It’s truly groundbreaking. /s

    There are many many many cis people that are not heterosexual.

    And by the way, cis is the opposite latin prefix of trans. Trans means “other side,” cis means “same side.” That’s literally it. It’s not complicated.

      You’ve got to remember that these are just simple twitter posts. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new social media age. You know… morons.

        Remembering the good ol’ George Carlin bit about thinking about how dumb the average person is… and then realizing that half the people are dumber than that.

            Since intelligence – and I don’t mean IQ but intelligence as a trait just like height or even your reaction speed or whatever – is more than likely normally distributed just like the vast majority of other traits, the average is the median.

            If we’re going to be pedantic, you mean that it’s possible for the median to equal the arithmetic mean. The “average” is a number that represents a set of data, and could be the median, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and several other values.
