It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for your updating on the new rules for not offending transgender persons, the newest group to demand special protection in society and under the law!!!
Today’s edition has to do with using an app that switches your gender – that’s cissexist!! If you don’t know what “cissexist” is, you’re probably doing it RIGHT NOW. It means bigotry against transgender persons. Bigot.
Here’s an example of the FaceApp:
I did the app, verdict: heck #FaceApp pic.twitter.com/HCugfSRoOh

People are posting their pics in other genders and other formats on Facebook and Twitter. And that is ALL bigotry!!!
According to one transgender person:
Ok. As a trans person I gotta say cis folks doing this gender change face app thing are kinda/totally making me feel so uncomfortable.

I get it's in fun but as a trans woman the whole thing makes me feel awkward + weird. It's this cisnormative / cis gaze thing.
— Sophia Banks (@sophiaphotos) April 24, 2017
“Cisnormative” is the transgender word for “normal,” basically, but they don’t want to use the word “normal” because that means that they’re not normal, and that’s bigotry, you bigot.
this thing of how cis folks expect us trans folks to physically change a certain way on HRT + if we don't we are failed trans people

So using an app for fun hurts transgender’s trans-feelings, so you’re a trans-bigot and you need to stop that!!!
This cis gaze and fascination with trans people before and after transition. This idea we need to change how we look to be seen as ppl

UH.. I dunno, I can’t translate that one. It’s weird.
It bugs me. Like what would you look like in a different gender? Trans folks look all different ways. Fuck this cisnormstivity.
— Sophia Banks (@sophiaphotos) April 24, 2017
OK, I think I got this one. SO, you can’t say that you would look this way in another gender, because to say someone looks any gender is bigoted. Yeah. That’s it!
And this gender face swap app on FB does the whole thing like if you 'change' gender you are gonna have all this facial surgery and shit
— Sophia Banks (@sophiaphotos) April 24, 2017
It’s just an app.
not calling my FB friends transphobic. It's one of those things cis folks do and don't really think about how it's harmful to trans folks
— Sophia Banks (@sophiaphotos) April 24, 2017
Don’t you feel bad now? You should!! You evil, bigoted cissexist!!
Also here’s a weird person that did the FaceApp swap with the GOP:
I used FaceApp on the men of the GOP. I call it "Too Many Pams." pic.twitter.com/nLvOjLGNXo
