    Isn’t cis another word for straight?
    I honestly don’t know, just asking

        This is like when you cool things down to such a low temperature that they start acting like they’re super hot.

        It’s similar in that they’re both arbitrary linguistic distinctions that do not apply under most circumstances (and indeed barely capture the phenomenon in the first place), reveal holes in our understanding of reality that even experts are largely unprepared to deal with, and have no practical, usable effects or results (although I’d love to know what the gay equivalent of superconduction is - is “superfluid” a gender?)

      i think he’s assuming there’s a difference between cis and straight but is too gay to know for sure
