How to beat the cis-culture by making up prog-words

The more new identities you take on, the less likely you will miss the one you have lost.

By Oleg Atbashian

Technological innovations have brought us many new words. We need new words not only to identify new things, but also to rename some of the old things in order to avoid confusion. For example, people have been playing the guitar for centuries without calling it "acoustic" until the electric guitar entered the stage; that's when the old guitar was retroactively renamed into acoustic. Traditional clocks with a face and rotating hands were retroactively renamed "analog" to distinguish them from "digital," along with displays, signals, recordings, and so on. The new words for such retro-naming are called retronyms.

Innovations in social engineering affect our language in much the same way.

When Karl Marx laid out his blueprint for communism and socialist ideas began to engulf Europe, the normal way of doing business was retroactively renamed "capitalism." Rational behavior became "oppressive" and people who preferred normalcy to "isms" became apologists for a reactionary socio-economic ideology. The advent of communist propaganda caused any non-communist discourse (e.g., Adam Smith) to be retroactively known as "capitalist propaganda."

In the U.S., the advent of progressivism in the 1930s caused a retroactive renaming of mainstream believers in the American Revolution into "conservatives." When the progressives decided to call themselves "liberals," the real liberals renamed themselves "classical liberals."

The general rule is that when new things become mainstream, the existing things have to give way and move to the margins, sometimes under new names. This is a natural order of things. But here's the kicker: what if this change can be induced artificially, with a trick of the eye, by pretending there is a vibrant new mainstream when there really isn't? Can we retro-name and marginalize the undesirable people and things ahead of time, pending a viable alternative? Can we popularize a futuristic media illusion that there is a better progressive reality, and retro-name the existing reality into something old-fashioned and not worth saving? Yes we can!

This wouldn't be a fraud because, thanks to Marx's blueprint, we are experts in knowing the future. We know it's inevitable. We know what's on the right side of history and what isn't. We know where its arc bends. We have seen the future and it works. So there's nothing wrong with a little futuristic retro-naming to speed up the process. Marxist morality teaches us that "good" is anything that advances our cause and "evil" is anything that stands in its way. Whatever we do, we can never go wrong. So there.

An example of such futuristic retro-naming is "fossil fuels." Previously known as simply "fuels," they received a stigmatizing retronym when we expected a massive arrival of renewable alternatives to replace the "fossils." Decades later, the use of renewables remains marginal and "fossils" take center stage. People still burn the same fuels, only now they feel guilty about it. Which is just as well, since a guilty electorate is a pliable electorate, and the heavier the guilt, the more willingly they donate to progressive causes.

A similar, more recent example is "cis-gendered."

In Latin, the prefix "cis-" is the opposite of "trans-" in identifying direction, as in Trans-Jordan (that side of Jordan) versus Cis-Jordan (this side of Jordan). Since the word "trans-gendered" implied "on the other side of the norm," the academic community fought back with the word "cis-gendered" to imply that "this side" and "that side" are only a matter of perspective and the norm doesn't really exist. If there's no norm, there's no deviancy. With the "cis" and "trans" groups having equal status, both sides also have equal rights to call one another weirdos. The only difference is that the "trans" people have at least questioned their identity and made a conscious decision to change it, whereas the "cis" people have cowardly succumbed to societal pressure, which in the book of trans-virtues makes them freaks.

In academic usage "cis-gendered" is a strategic putdown to troll the general population who have accepted their gender roles based solely on the visual assessment of their genitals. This goes way beyond the traditional "gay agenda," as "cis-gendered" describes not only heterosexuals, but also gays who identify as men and lesbians who identify as women.

This isn't your grandfather's Marxism either, even though the word is loaded with Marxist presumptions.

Presumption 1. Cis-gendered people are "fossils" who found it easier to submit to the pressure from the archaic bourgeois society and accept the gender role imposed on them at birth, rather than prove to one's family and friends that just because you were born with a penis or a vagina, that doesn't give them a right to assume your pronoun.

Presumption 2. The human mind is a social construct: there is no such thing as immutable human nature, and everything we know, feel, and believe is acquired through social conditioning. Neo-Marxists believe that gender is an archaic illusion imposed on us by the oppressive bourgeois society, and that once this pressure is removed, people will no longer commit to the rigid binary gender roles and instead will choose one or more from the unimaginable variety of genders discovered by progressive science.

Presumption 3. The society of the future will be brimming with multi-gendered or non-gender-committed people picking their diverse sexual roles and preferences at will. Those sticking to the old binary gender system without questioning their identities will be moved to the margins. Those misfits never had a collective name because they used to be the norm; now they'll have to be retroactively labeled to distinguish them from the new norm. This new group label is "cis-gendered."

Presumption 4. We can expedite the arrival of this imaginary world if we convince enough people that it already exists. We will work to create a media illusion where the mainstream culture already consists of cool gender-fluid people, and where the gender-rigid radicals known as "cis-gendered" exist on the societal margins, wallowing in their dying, narrow-minded culture. As a minimum, it will make the majority feel guilty about being cis-gendered fruitcakes, which should make them more submissive and willing to give to progressive causes.

In fact, this "cis-" prefix has so much potential that the progressive movement shouldn't just stop at gender. We can retroactively rename everything that is normal around us and usher in social progress by replicating the above model.

If it's not what you are but how you were conditioned that matters, then the prog-science would do well to hurry up and introduce more cis-terms to encourage the rebellion and stigmatize the potentially dangerous non-rebels. Below is a short list of possibilities.

  • Cis-gendered: those who have unquestionably accepted their assigned gender.
  • Cis-racial: those who have unquestionably accepted their assigned race.
  • Cis-planetary: those who have unquestionably accepted their assigned planet.
  • Cis-species: those who have unquestionably accepted their assigned species.
  • Cis-temporal: those who have unquestionably accepted their assigned historical period.

The real revolutionaries are those who always question their cis-status. Become one and your life will be full of surprises. You may wake up being a 50-year-old Hispanic lesbian professor trapped inside a 20-year-old Papua warrior inside a pregnant 40-year-old Palestinian mother of 12 children inside a promiscuous 19th-century Russian ballerina inside a gay German Shepherd inside a drunken Babylonian hillbilly inside an ageless queen of Vulcan - and so on - all living in different historical eras, continents, and even planets, existing as one academically impeccable intersectional nesting unit.

The more new identities you take on, the less likely you will miss the one you have lost. In a way, it's the opposite of phantom pain: instead of spasms in a missing limb, you will lose all sensation and any interest in a limb which you still have and could very well use.

Soviet Marxists put a lot of faith in social conditioning. They believed that capitalism and private property conditioned people to engage in crime and violence, and that in the absence of capitalist exploitation and without private property, all crime and violence would cease to exist. They also believed that the conditioning of Soviet children through a common-core-type public education would produce the New Man - the ultimate multi-talented altruist who is dedicated to social justice and is fit to live in a futuristic communist society.

That worked out pretty well; the formerly Soviet territories are swarming with completely selfless, honest, and non-violent geniuses who are ready to do anything for a little social justice. It's now our turn to do the same for America and condition the cis out of its conservative culture.

So if a cis-person who lives near the Atlantic Ocean insists on retaining the Atlantic identity instead of identifying as Pacific or Arctic, that cis-person is then known as a cis-sea?

Women's Marchers Doing Away With ‘Pussy Hats' for Being Racist, Transphobic

Members of the Women's March movement are no longer grabbing their trademark pink "pussy hats" out of concern they might be offensive to minorities and transgender women....

...women activists in Michigan and elsewhere are making a conscious effort to move away from the hat out of fear that it "excludes and is offensive to transgender women and gender nonbinary people who don't have typical female genitalia and to women of color because their genitals are more likely to be brown than pink."...

...LaShawn Ebly, co-chair of Black Lives Matter-Lansing... intends to make the hats the cornerstone of her speech at an upcoming rally. "I will say this one thing: It is a problem" ...

...The Facebook page for the Women's March in Pensacola agreed, lecturing followers that "The Pink P*ssy Hat reinforces the notion that woman = vagina and vagina = woman, and both of these are incorrect."...

..."Anyone who supports women's rights is welcome to wear a Pussyhat. It does not matter if you have a vulva or what color your vulva may be," reads the Pussyhat Project website.

And so the giant man-eating gynosaur, unleashed by the prog movement, marches on devouring its own creators.

In the new progressive America, pussy eats you.

As Commissar of Time, I approve of this notion. I identify as transtemporal

I believe I live in the heady days of1950's middle class America the 1917 Revolution, and reject the current legal and social framework of 2018.

I demand 1917 bathrooms, and to live my life unencumbered by the cis-temporal norms of the 21st century!

I must admit to being more confused than Rosie O'Donnell in a room full of chocolate covered bananas.

It follows that you and other trans-Atlantic comrades have a right to slap anyone in our cis-Atlantic community, and rightly so! You will be providing a valuable community service.

In fact, we insist. It may cleanse our consciousness and temporarily relieve us of some of our unbearable guilt for being who we are.

I suggest we undergo this procedure at least once a month. Think of it as therapy.

I denounce Red Square for his sexist implication that a "visitor" must appear monthly to provide "cleansing."

How do we actually know that Komrades Amerikkkans are "cis" - this side - of the Atlantic?
Somehow implying that Yurope's Komrades are "trans" - that side - of Big Pond?

Wasn't it Cristoforo Colombo aka Columbus starting cis-Atlantically to trans-Atlantic shores*?
Where he found trans(!)-Atlantic Redskins, fed 'em turkey, and then subdued to KKKapitalizm?

* Of course, after Moozlims first discovered Amrika, as we know from Ottoman sultan Erdoğan.


(... RedD-Meow-like confusion fog recedes, giving way to a yuuuge shovel gaining momentum ...)
(hurry! hurry up! - mumbles panicked Dummkopf - switch to a most positively proggy narrative!)


uh, uh... so, the marauding cis-crusader Columbus, uh, uh, invaded cis-imperially the land of, uh, uh, trans-colored persons of, uh, uh, trans-Beringian ethnicities who, uh, visited by trans-oceanic, uh, Mussulmanes, got trans-spiritualized by them, PBUH, and thusly enriched, uh, uh, readied to invite trans-globally persons of all colors (except the cis-white color!), so as to, uh, build a happy Inclusively Multicolored Inter-Caliphate. But, but, right in that moment, the mentioned cis-white exploiter Colombo landed on Caliphate's-to-be shore, wreaked havoc, sailed back to his cis-King Ferdinand in cis-Granada, and told him and the whole cis-court about all the endeavors in... trans(!)-Atlantic "America".


(... mighty shovel-in-the-sky slowly retracts, until - poof! - it vanishes, for once empty-handed ...)

Soooooooooooooo...........when it comes to this 'monthly slapping therapy' I happened to notice one little thing, according to this sign.

It specifically specifies WHITE MEN for the free slaps. While it hurts a little (oh hell no it doesn't) to be a smiggen unequal in this particular circumstance, I will accept it and go sit on the sidelines during these 'monthly therapy sessions'. Perhaps I shall bring my pom poms and do some cheer leading.........

Needless to say, TransCisism or CisTransims correctly reflect a scientific need to euphemize anti-empiricism as being anti-empire to deconstruct the male "empire" founded on empirical data, which, unfortunately for anti-empiricists has been saved in the WayBack Machine.

But wait ... I am confused again. Is not a distinction between cis and trans a valorization of binaries? And have we not been told to eschew binaries ... or at least to intersectionalize binaries since eschewing something is itself an imposition of binaries? Or ... oh dear oh dear oh dear. I am in need of a safe space.

Of course, Comrade, you are referring to The Truth of last Tuesday, which has progressed to The Current Truth, which may no longer be The Truth next Tuesday, because Truth—like sexual identity—is fluid enough to adapt to whatever mayhem Progress we seek to promote for as long as it suits our needs until it doesn't.

If this is too difficult to embrace, I suggest you may need a very warm coat and a shovel sometime soon before next Tuesday.
