Distracting with Cis
http://smashthecisarchy.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/trans-101-what-is-cis/
Not that there are really many if any people on my friends' list that need this, but just trying to spread the knowledge. Too often trans discussions get derailed by cis people coming in and demanding explanations and discussion of their own issues. So, I'd appreciate anyone who doesn't really know what "cisgender" means to read this, and also anyone to poke around that blog. I don't necessarily agree with every word the author writes, but she's really awesome, smart, and I agree with most of it.
