Actually, it's worse than that. You telling me that I and others who aren't followers of the Church of Genderology still all have agender gender identities anyway is akin to Muslims insisting that all non-Muslims see and define ourselves as "kaffir" and "non-ummah." Or to Buddhists, Mormons, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Scientologists decreeing that everyone who doesn't follow their particular faith still must nonetheless pay fealty to their particular faith by calling ourselves non-Buddhists, non-Mormons, non-Roman Catholics, non-Presbyterians, non-Scientologists and making our lack of belief in Buddhism, Mormonism/LDS, Roman Catholicism, Presbyterianism, or Scientology central to our self-images.
No. That would be like transgender people saying that anyone who is not transgender should be identified as "non-transgender" people. That would indeed be absurd. But saying agender people have gender identity as being agender is like saying being atheists and agnostics is religious identity.
Do you think asexual people have sexual orientation? Probably not from their perspective. They probably don't define themselves by the lack of sexual attraction to others. They are defined by others who are sexually attracted by someone.
Do they get offended by the fact they have been defined by other people? Do they call other people followers of "Church of Sexology"? I haven't heard anyone saying that.
Why do you have to be offended if you are called agender, and it's a form of gender identity? Do you feel you are "othered"? Do you feel your sense of normalcy has been violated? Do you need to believe that other people who have gender identity are cult followers?
Oh stop. The transgender lobby routinely says that everyone who is not transgender or non-binary or some other of the myriad novel gender identities invented yesterday on Tumblr or TikTok is "cisgender" and we all must conceptualize ourselves as "cisgender."
Many people who say they are transgender, their allies and the other advocates of the bonkers gender identity ideology that you believe in have said over the years that women should be called such offensive terms as "gennies," "non-men," "vagina havers," "bleeders," "gestators," "birthing bodies," "menstruators," and "bodies with vaginas."
Your continual push to get inside my head so that you can order me to conceptualize of myself based on your own personal misogynistic belief system has now entered the territory of psychological rape.

I have never used those terms, and I agree they are absurd. But is "cisgender" equally offensive to you? Why? Oops, I am not allowed to ask you any questions. I would be called a psychological rapist.
I don't have a "gender identity." I respect other people's right to claim a gender identity like other people's right to claim a religion, but I don't participate in the ideology.
I AM female.
This is like saying I don't have religion because I am an atheist. But atheism IS a religion, beause one has to BELIEVE that God does not exist. (The absence of God cannot be proved.)
Even agnosticism is a religion if one actively believes in agnosticism.
Atheism is a religion like not collecting baseball cards is a hobby.

Cisgender is offensive to me and millions of others of both sexes because it means that a person identifies with and builds their sense of self around the gender - aka the prevailing set of sexist sex stereotypes and roles - attributed to and associated with our sex in our culture and era by those who are sexist, misogynistic, male supremacist, homophobic - and who are also totally and solely focused on superficial outward appearance.
All the photos of slight, pretty-looking pre-pubescent and hormonally altered trans-identified males and males with CAIS you keep posting on this and other threads don't make the points you think they do. They just show that the gender identity ideology you espouse and seem to think is and should be a universal religion is a bunch of shallow, superficial, sexist hooey that is all about who looks feminine and masculine rather than about who actually is female and male.
Moreover, as the world-famous male erotic cross-dresser Grayson Perry and many others have pointed out in great detail over many decades, the greatest and most vociferous advocates of the sexist and misogynistic stereotypes and roles - and the totally superficial standards of outward appearance - that you insist all female persons who are not trans-identified must base our self-concepts and social identities on are male sexual fetishists and others of both sexes who are turned on by the idea of, and fantasies about, male dominance, male superiority, male sexual potency and male supremacy and female submissiveness, female inferiority, female degradation and female subjugation under the thumb (and other body parts) of males.

Cisgender: denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex.
This is, according to OED. It does not say anything about sexist sex stereotype or superficial outward appearance. That's all in your imagination. If you do not feel any incongruence with your birth sex, you are cisgender. Nothing more or less than that.

And what do you think my points are? Are you once again putting words into my keyboard, like you always do? Being "pretty-looking" has nothing to do with the reason I post those people's pictures and videos. I guess it's better to be pretty than ugly because you cannot disparage them as gross, disgusting, repulsive or whatever words you like to use. I guess you are the one obsessed with people's physical appearance, not me.
Do you think Georgie Stone and Evie MacDonald are reinforcing sexist sex stereotypes in the photos I posted above? In what way?
Do you think Juia Gillard and Julie Kalceff are misogynists because they support trans women and girls? I guess Gillard would not want to be lectured about misogyny any more than she did ten years ago.
Julia Gillard's time as Australian prime minister may only have lasted three years but the former Labor leader delivered one of the most memorable moments in...
In case you don't know, the photo above was taken at an event that commemorated the tenth anniversary of Gillard's speech. Stone was one of the guests invited to speak at the event on how the speech impacted her life.
Yes, I think Michelle Telfer is definitely a misogynist. And a child abuser.
Maybe this is news to you, but lots of women and girls are misogynists and male supremacists.
Quite a few women are child abusers too.
HTH.
That's what Murdoch's News Corp told us. Fortunately, both the Victorian government and the federal health minister disagreed with them. But you are in a "good" company.
Michelle Telfer says the Australian newspaper published disinformation that created ‘fear and anxiety’ and ‘attempted to destroy my professional reputation’
