not sure why, normal is just another word for usual, typical, expected, common, etc.

Being trans isn't normal, not that that makes it a bad thing.

Calling something "not normal" usually implies a negative connotation.

Eh, to be fair they didn't really come up with it. Cis/trans exist in many areas of nature as different isomers.

It just isn't a commonly used term because anything that isn't trans is implied to be cis. Everyone has heard about trans fats, but nobody calls all the other types of fats "cis fats."

Edit: To that end, I don't understand the need to popularize the term unless the intent is to use it in a disparaging manner.

wrongthink is not defined by facts, you should know that. It's defined by narrative.

Wow, you literally reversed strawmanned your original comment to make it sound better. That's a rarity.

I be like
Why that word.
I am offended by it. I dont know what it means. I find it being used as a derogatory term. You make me feel like its something condescending when you say to me.

Then, i tell you a firm good day to indicate our verbal interaction is done and walk away.

transexuality is abnormal. that is not an opinion. abnormal isn't negative, it just means something that deviates from what is commonly observed.

that's precisely what 'normal' means, though. it isn't good or bad.

Asparin.
Your original comment was sarcastically implying that trans people are easily offended. Now you're pretending your argument was nothing more than saying being trans isn't normal. It's actually annoying having to explain somebodies comment to them because they don't understand it.

It's a older word than that, but it wasn't really used until those mentioned groups started to used it.

cis-trans isomerism is a type of designation used in organic chemistry to refer to the side of a given functional group relative to that of the carbon chain.

cis- indicates the group is on the same side as the carbon chain, while trans- refers to the function group on the opposite side.
