And you thought this would be the right place?

How are the "2 x £10" Amazon vouchers going to be awarded if the responses are anonymous?

For all those wondering, cisgender means a man who thinks he’s a man, or a woman who thinks she’s a woman.

That’s 99% of people then.

And no, I didn’t know either.

Yeah, funnily enough this cropped up at work a while ago.  Once I'd figured it out, I wondered why they needed the term until I realised it was because otherwise you would refer to people who identify with the sex assigned at birth as "normal".  Kind of makes sense although seems a tad unnecessary.

So you’re saying you don’t think women or transgender men watch football?🤔. I think I can see an issue with methodology and selection bias 

[hypochondriac]

I'm just a man and not "cisgender" so I can't help I'm afraid.

To be fair to Emma, even if women or transgender men watch football, they wouldn't be eligible to participate in this particular survey :

Who can participate?

Anyone over the age of 18 who is interested in taking part and is a cisgender, heterosexual male.

Not sure why anyone completing the survey would need to watch football though :

Doesn’t sound very inclusive to me so that I’m out.

Likewise. Good luck though.

Can a cisgender person identify as man one day and think they are a man then next day identify as a woman and think they are. A non binary cisgender. That sounds perfectly sensible and inclusive to Me.

Christ!  Imagine the flag you'd need to create for that!

Yes but her post said "and thought you all might be able to help" - assuming everyone on a football forum was CIS male

Before I take part, I'd like to know why you are particularly interested in the views of "straight, cisgender adult men".  Why this demographic and not any other?

[Mystic Force]

To be fair if I was not a chemist and used cis and trans for labels for types of carbon-carbon double bonds I would have been unlikely to have any idea what they were talking about. I get the feeling that football fans are getting stereotyped here as a reliable way to find a target group  for the research.

So as I have no answer and looked up the term, my response is "live in the real world" and "no". Cisgender, FFS. 

[Fan The Flames]

I had heard the term but paid little attention to it and assumed it meant the opposite of what it actually means. It's got cis in it in it.

To continue the lesson, cis is latin for 'on this side of'.

Love trans people but won't ever refer to myself as cisgender.
