    That’s a beautiful way of seeing it indeed, you convinced me

    My point was just to say that in very specific cases it can be used to make it clear that the person is born male but I guess the cisgender and transgender terms are now relatively well known

    It’s still easier to explain some things with this word, but I wouldn’t use it socially of course

    You nailed the problem: it is often used for bad reasons and thus people categorize people saying this word, which is highly invalid imo and shouldn’t be criminalized this way when the context is appropriate

    But yea, now even scientific literature pretty much abandoned this word
