There is no such thing as "cis" women. There are women, and there are transwomen. This, some would say insidious, use of newly-minted language by trans activists is seeping unquestioned even into the Globe and Mail. Why should any woman, with all her lived experience as a girl and a woman in Canadian society have to demean or qualify her existence to please men who wish now to take on that female identity as if it was some sort of costume? Surely the editors of the Globe and Mail have more respect for the power of language. I was born a girl and raised a girl in a time and place in which every day girls were prey for predatory men.  That still is true for many girls in Canadian society today. Trust me boys - you wouldn't have wanted my girlhood.  As a woman, I'm a survivor. I hold my hard-won ground and my hard-won language. I am not moving over. I have never been, am not now and never will be, "cis".
