The smug trans-cult phrase "assigned at birth" pisses me off whenever I see it. I'll be damned if anybody arbitrarily "assigned" me "boy" when I squeezed out of my mother's vagina, as if they had some kind of quota that day. They took a quick look, observed, and documented that I was a boy.

The phrase is appropriated from the science of this tiny, tiny number of children.

I have a whole litany of those stupid phases that piss me off. The first person that calls me a uterus haver or birthing person or tells me I chest-fed my baby is going to get smacked!

Yep, a litany. Anybody refers to me as "cis" makes me want to smash a pie into his face. I'm male. Period. No woke prefix necessary.
