Would you want someone to be called "sexual orientation normative"? Moreover, you're trying to deny the real issues your trans partner faces vs. the issues you do. What gender does it say on your driver's license vs. her drivers license? How would you each be treated in health care? What do each of your birth certificates state? Who is more likely to encounter violence because of their gender? What's on the passport each of you needs to present in order to even get a job these days? Cisgender does not equate with transphobic except that, in the real world, people who have issues with it tend to also be the ones who are blind to their privilege. Sorry, but doing a little genderfuck doesn't entitle you to make to erase those issues. Anything “normative” is about privilege. Would you want someone to be called “sexual orientation normative”?
