The use of the word cis has its roots in an obscure Usenet group; it's genesis (apparently) rooted in a desire for more inclusive language for trans folks (the notion that "gender" Vs "transgender" was too othering).

It hit Tumblr like a train in the 2010s, and became a symbolic phrase in trans counterculture. "Cisgender" was less than popular with non-trans people, as it robbed them of the illusion of normality and turned the word "gender" into a social trap.

It later found derogatory use in the phrase "cissy" (a counter for the popular derogatory term "tranny").

It's a fun word with an interesting history, and it has helped contribute to the wider acceptance of trans folks.

To be entirely unbiased here, this covers user friendly distros that pretty much blow windows away for "default experience".

Windows has adware and scareware - more so it has config-cluster-fuckification (I believe this is the academic term for it?). This is where windows lost me - when it started bundling basic config options together to force you to relinquish your privacy. Now it's "edit the registry or gtfo"...
