    It is, but we apparently now need redundant labels for some reason and I might add that I don't think that "trans men" (females who become male) are driving the etymological changes but rather the "trans women" (male to female) as well as non binary males, who together form the overwhelming majority of the trans gendered population.

    Feminists begged and screamed for "equality" and now they're getting it good and hard.

    What does that have to do with the terms cisgender vs transgender? The trans phenomenon has nothing to do with feminism, particularly since most trans people are biological males.

    I'm proud to identify as a biological man and enjoy the company of biological women who also happily identify as such. Any gender confusion is a passing trend which will not likely last. It just doesn't have the legs, hairy or otherwise.

    As a hopelessly heterosexual being I'd be mightily offended were anyone to question my masculinity, as would any genuine woman over her feminine qualifications. Our 'straight' club may seem to be shrinking but its members are very loyal to the natural tendencies we share and this mutual interest in each other is not noticeably waning - and I believe we're all grateful for that.
