Large potholes and cracked sidewalks in the spring demonstrate the big impact that freezing temperatures can have on masonry materials. The bricks and mortar of your chimney can be impacted in a similar way. You have the power to prevent this type of damage from freezing temperatures to your chimney.
Masonry materials—such as bricks, mortar and cement—are incredibly porous. When it rains, sleets or snows, the masonry material can absorb that moisture like a sponge. As the moisture freezes and thaws during the winter, it expands and contracts inside the material. This process of expanding and contracting it was what breaks down cement, bricks and mortar causing it to crack or chip.
it can lose its structural integrity and begin to lean or collapse.
There are 3 ways that you can prevent winter water damage.
1. Have the chimney's masonry water proofed.
The first line of defense against water damage for a chimney is a waterproofing sealant. The waterproofing sealant acts as a protective layer over the masonry stopping it from absorbing water. Sealants designed for chimneys are 100% vapor permeable which means that they do allow water vapors from the smoke to evaporate out of the chimney but stop the masonry from absorbing external water. Most sealant treatments come with a 5 to 10-year warranty.
2. Install a chimney cap and ensure the crown is not damaged.
Installing a chimney cap is the best way to protect the inside of the chimney from water damage. It acts like an umbrella, sitting on the top of the chimney, preventing precipitation from falling down the chimney. Instead, the precipitation runs down the side of the chimney cap. When you have the cap installed, the chimney cap installer should also check to make sure that the chimney crown (or cement cap around the mouth of the chimney) does not have any cracks that could be allowing water to seep into the chimney's masonry. If the chimney crown is cracked, it should be repaired or replaced.
3. Schedule a chimney inspection.
There are many benefits of scheduling an annual chimney inspection by a certified chimney sweep technician. One of the most important is that they can spot damage in your chimney and identify the root cause. Water intrusion is the most common problem with chimneys. The sooner the problem is caught, the more likely it is that the repair costs will be minor. Even if you have already had your chimney cleaned and inspected this year, you should call on a chimney experts, like the Original Chimney Specialist, if your notice any of the signs of water damage: broken chimney flue tiles in your fireplace, water stains on a wall or ceiling near the fireplace, a rusted fireplace grate or chimney damper, crumbling mortar or loose bricks.
Is your chimney protected against freezing temperatures? If your chimney needs a new coat of waterproof sealant, a chimney cap installed or a chimney inspection, give us a call!

Q: stopclock implementation in wp7 In my wp7.5 app, i have a block where i need to show a stopclock (say 30,29,28...1,0). I tried various implementations to achieve this using DispatchTimer and Timer classes, but none of them solved my problem.
Approach 1:
Here is the snippet i used for DispatchTimer,
DispatcherTimer dt = new DispatcherTimer();
dt.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1); // 1 second
dt.Tick += new EventHandler(dt_Tick);

for(int count=0;count<30;count++)
    dt.Start();

void dt_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // my UI control update here
}

in my Tick event implementation i am updating a UI control with time counter. I read some questions here on the same topic, where dispatcher tick never fires in some scenarios because of UI thread. It happened same to me, tick event never fired.
Approach 2:
I tried using System.Threading.Timer class,
Timer timer = new Timer(TimerProc);

for(int count=0;count<30;count++)
    timer.Change(1000, 0);

void TimerProc(object sender)
{
   // my UI control update here
}

None my approaches worked. I might have asking a repeated question, can anyone point me where I am doing incorrectly in the code?

A: The DispatcherTimer after the Start() method called keep fires the Tick event when the interval elapses until when you call Stop() on it. So you don't need to call Start() 30 times but you have to maintain a counter and in the Tick event handler stop the timer after 30 ticks:
private int counter;

private void Start_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    counter = 30;
    DispatcherTimer dt = new DispatcherTimer();
    dt.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1); // 1 second
    dt.Tick += new EventHandler(dt_Tick);
    dt.Start();
}

void dt_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (counter >= 0)
    {
        timeText.Text = counter.ToString();
        counter--;
    }
    else
        ((DispatcherTimer)sender).Stop();
}

Edit:
If the precision of the DispatcherTimer is not enough you can use System.Threading.Timer instead, but in this case you have call Dispatcher.BeginInvoke in the tick event handler to enable access for objects on the UI thread:
private int counter;

private void Start_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    counter = 30;
    timeText.Text = counter.ToString();
    Timer dt = new Timer(dt_Tick);
    dt.Change(1000 /* delay to start the timer */, 1000 /* period time */);
}

private void dt_Tick(object sender)
{
    if (counter > 0)
    {
        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => timeText.Text = counter.ToString());
        counter--;
    }
    else
        ((Timer) sender).Dispose();
}

A: The Timer tick method musn't be the one to keep track of the time. Why? For two reasons.
1/ The interval between each Tick of the DispatcherTimer isn't precise, and depends on what you do with the UI. It can be 1 second, like it can be a bit more.
2/ The next Tick is triggered one second after the previous tick has ended. Since the update code inside the tick takes some time, it will automatically lag behind.
For instance, if the update code takes 0.1 second, the tick is triggered after 1 second, the update is done, and the next tick comes 1 second after the end of the update, so 2.1 second after the start of the timer!
Therefore, you should store the time when you started the Timer, and compute the elapsed time at each tick:
    protected DispatcherTimer Timer { get; set; }

    protected DateTime TimerStartTime { get; set; }

    private void ButtonStart_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Timer = new DispatcherTimer();
        this.Timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
        this.Timer.Tick += this.Timer_Tick;
        this.TimerStartTime = DateTime.Now;
        this.Timer.Start();
    }

    private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int elapsedSeconds = (int)DateTime.Now.Subtract(this.TimerStartTime).TotalSeconds;

        this.TextTimer.Text = (30 - elapsedSeconds).ToString();
    }

This way, even if the time between each tick isn't precise, the timer won't indicate a false time. You can even reduce the timer interval to 500 ms or less to have a more precise timer, without changing the Tick method.

Cis people: How do you feel about being called cis?
So many cis people have a problem with the word cis. Why? Cis is a Latin prefix meaning "the same side of" like trans is a Latin prefix for the "opposite side of"
Cisgender isn't a made up word or an insult it's simply just what you are! Why would anyone hate being called cis?
I'm ok with being called cis because I'm cisgender

Because it IS a made up, bullsh*t word and I don't respect it. Even if it's not a completely made-up word, the usage of it, is.
And people have an issue with it, because you're trying to dictate who and what they are; ironic considering trans people don't like it when others try to dictate who and what THEY are, but then think it's okay to do it to normal people. Then again, many transpeople are full of sh*t. They are immature babies who like to cry everything is "transphobic" when they don't get their way.
Of course, I have met some 'rational' transpeople on this site. I think I know three of them. But they don't seem to get much attention compared to the idiots on social media. Guess they're too busy just living their lives and accepting themselves for who they are, rather than bitching and whining on Twitter for other people to believe in their delusional fantasy BS, like they do.
And THAT is where you lose people. You have the right to live your life however you want. You DON'T have the right to force, bully, or peer pressure others into living their lives however you want. And rejecting objective reality, science, and facts, in favor of some trans identity delusional BS that didn't even exist (in the mainstream) 15 years ago, is insanity. And most people aren't that insane.
Damn calm down it's just the word cis
MCheetah
Sure, mister. Whatever you want.
I know who you are, OP. I also know what it's like to not like the body you were given (in my case, it's me being short; in your case, it's you not being a biological female). I can sympathize with that, as well. However, the same way I can't make people see me as being 6'5" (how I feel "on the inside"), you can't make people accept what you also wish was reality. And transpeople trying to force that onto people with language or shaming them, is only going to create more resentment and anger towards the side you're trying to get to accept you. And you ARE trying to get them to accept you; otherwise you wouldn't care.
All I can say is, focus on what you CAN change, and don't let what you can't change drag you down into depression and whatnot. As a short guy who's life would be very much happier if I was a tall and strong as I was meant to be, that's the best advice I can give you. "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar." And you make more friends and allies with respectfulness than calling them "transphobes" and forcing unnatural language onto them.
I agree although I must say I do a pretty good job at convincing people I'm female. I only get disrespected when I tell people I'm trans which I do because I want to spread awareness. But if I have to walk on eggshells or pretend to be cis to keep people from being mean to me then they want to be mean regardless of whether or not I call them cis.

It grabs negative attention when it's unneeded, just use it among your friends. If someone gets angry just from overhearing you that would be on them in that case. Sometimes it's a useful term when "not transgender" doesn't work, but it often works quite easily. More people easily understand not transgender than cisgender.
Useful:
-are you cisgender? (if you think it's more likely and want to avoid suggesting someone appears transgender when they aren't)
Not useful:
-all of my friends are cisgender (can be phrased as "none of my friends are transgender")
-they're a band of cisgender people who despite hardships decided to dedicate themselves to music and performance and are now big shots. (entirely unnecessary as most people are cisgender and it crams more terms into the sentence.)
Bonus: shortened "cis" sounds really bad and also requires previous knowledge as if it were a common word. You can avoid both problems by using the full word.

This generation has a thing for labels. Every like, dislike, thought and feeling seems to require a label of some sort.
I think it's ridiculous.
When I first heard the word "Cis" I was told it meant "comfortable in skin." That was outrageous to me, because few people are actually completely comfortable in their own skin.
However, when I looked it up myself, I found it to mean exactly what you described. I have no issue with being referred to as Cis now that I know what it actually means.
But I do wish we could give the labels a rest. There are way too many to keep up.
I get how to a cis person it might seem like just a label but to me it's a very useful word. I mean you're not going to talk about cis people like I do but I talk about cis people all the time and need a word
When people say they're something trapped in the "wrong" body. That kind of assumes that there is a "right" body to begin with and that there is something that can be trapped. I am my body. For better or for worse. There are a lot of things I wish were different about my life. I can rage and wish I wasn't dealt such bad hand in life or I can just accept the universe doesn't care and my feelings won't change anything.
Yeah I don't like to say I have the wrong body I just call it a boys body
Chrissydamusicgirl
And the fact is if you read any science beyond middle school that you realize transness is extremely well supported. Coming from somebody that literally took Sex biology at an elite college sit tf down if you're gonna talk about "facts"
If you were a transsexual woman what would you do to make your heart hurt less?
Why has the transgender movement gotten so weird and annoying and controlling?
How often do you get happy feelings and what causes them? Have any of your dreams come true?
Should I even go back to work tomorrow?

What's wrong with using the traditional label "heterosexual?"
Heterosexual means attracted to opposite sex.
Cisgender means born in the right body.
I'm heterosexual.
OlderAndWiser
Why do we need to decide whether we have the "right" body? I was born with XY chromosomes so I am male. It's that simple. If I think I should be a female, there is something wrong with my head, not my body.
I can't change my head. I can change my body. So that's what I gotta do. Trying to be a boy was depressing, and being a man looks horrifying. I don't want to be covered in hair all over!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You can be a male, or you can be a male who has had surgery to try to look like a female, but you will never be a female.
WHY DO YOU PEOE LOVE REMINDING ME THAT ILL NEVER BE AS HAPPY AS YOU? 😭
Why can't you just let me have my happy feelings? It'd be so sweet if you didn't make my heart hurt even more! 🥺
Why do you expect othr people to support you in your delusion?
I don't expect people to support me. I'm just always so sad and hurt that people always like being so mean to me! People seem to like hurting my feelings so much but their feelings will never even hurt as bad as mine! I grew up being treated so mean even by my mommy! My mommy was the meanest! When I began transition I had no idea people would want to hurt my feelings so bad. I knew people would be mean but I never expected the meanness to be so bad! I've been treated so mean and I've been dehumanized and invalidated and made fun of so much that I'm constantly sad and scared, it has made living harder than it already is! Without Jesus I'd never feel happy or smile. Cis girls get to be so happy and live magical dream lives. They smile so big and they get to feel good about themselves! They get sweet love from men, they get to have their own family, they get treated normal and get respected and get to feel good about themselves but I always feel like a monster that should be to exist and will never have any of my dreams come true! I'll never be good enough for a man to love and I'll always be an oddball that makes people uncomfortable! I love babies and having my own little baby is my single biggest dream in the whole world but since people think I'm a pervert man they think I'll harm a baby!!! IT HURTS SO BAD!!! WHY SO PEOPLE LIKE DOING THIS TO ME? WHY can't I EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO TRY BEING AS HAPPY AS A CISVWOMAN? Or at least why can't I feel like I belong? Why can't I feel like I deserve to live? People have a heart towards everyone else who is different. Why not me? Rapists and thieves get more respect than me. I'm not even a pervert or anything I just dream of a loving husband and sweet babies but that just makes people want to hurt me. I'm the most hated kind of person in the whole world after pedophiles but I never hurt anybody, especially not a child. It's not fair and I can't wait to ask Jesus why I had to hurt so much.

I'm sorry that you have a difficult life and are so obviously depressed. What most people rebel against is the idea that we MUST call you "her" or "she" when we don't believe that at all, and we must treat you as if you are "normal" when it is quite apparent that your life is anything but normal.

Technically there is nothing wromg with the word itself. The problem is it's typically used in a political context by people I disagree with. It's similar to "mansplaining". Some would argue that is a technical word with a clear definition and is useful in some situations. In reality, it's used by women unable to deal with arguments they disagree with and so they instead blame a man who is allegedly overexplaining obvious things. If that woman engaged with the argument itself and never attacked her opponents character, perhaps the word would be taken seriously. Because it mostly spread in toxic feminist circles, it is tainted by that toxicity. Now it will never be used to neutrally describe a typical male behavior, because it has very strong connotations.
The cis word is the same. Just like mansplaining it is biased already from the start, but got much worse when it was connected with really unbearable types of people.
Even in neutral context, the issue would be that you are describing the standard situation as if it were the anomaly, or perhaps as if it were just another category, on the same level with trans. I would object to the normalization of that primarily due to the negative effect such language seems to have on children.
Add to that some recent prominent case of this word being used by people who use an identitarian narrative to try to hurt peoples reputation, get them fired and accuse them of all kinds of nasty intentions. Once it entered the culture war on the side of the crazy left, you can't separate the word and it's negative connotations.
I personally dont mind the word itself, but as soon as I suspect you are using it in that keft wing political context, my patience will be on a very short fuse.
I don't know what y'all are talking about I've never heard cisbused in a political context. And as a transgender person I like having a word for not trans that doesn't imply that people who aren't trans are better
Shizunk
I am glad you were never exposed to the filth being discussed in some universities, media and recently even other private companies then. Assuming you truly do use it neutrally, you probably wouldn't get much of a reaction out of me.
I don't think non-trans means better, but it certainly means normal, default. That is also meant in a neutral way. You could say cis, but I would never use it, because having sex and intentity aligned is in fact the default and there is no need to describe it further, even when discussing trans related subjects. You do not need a word for the sky not being bright yellow, because if its blue, you can just say its the sky and everyone has the right image in their head. The same way if you say "man" and "woman" there is no need to specify cis.
I doubt in real life if you spoke calmly and people didn't object to the tone or content of your statements, that they would have such an issue with a word. Even if they did perceive it as a slight pejorative. As long as we know what you mean and you are respectful it should be fine. I would suspect people get emotional about the topic itself or your delivery, rather than a single word. But maybe I just have a bery rational social bubble.
Nobody in real life gets emotional when I say cis it's just asshole transphobes on the internet. They call me a snowflake because I don't like being called a mentally I'll freak then lose their shit over being called cis lmao. But as a trans person I need a word that I can use to describe everyone else without the implication that they're real and sane and normal and I'm an artificial abnormal freak.
Well there you have it. In real life nobody would look you in the eyes and say half of what they say online. That means both that more people in real life would push back against what you say if there were no social pressures to self-censor. So there are probably more people in real life who deep down are "non-asshole transphobes" but won't say it if it sounds bad.
And also the other way around, the internet assholes, if you could sit them down somewhere private and ask them carefully selected questions, would likely be more calm and thoughtful than they are online. This whole GAG thing is an amazing tool to analyse the world if you dont take your findings too seriously :-D

It is a made up word, all words are made up.
It's a stupid word though, and I don't consider it a real one because mentalities can't be gendered.
Either gender can have any mentality, and gender = biological sex, because thats what it meant before gen z forgot how to read a dictionary.
"Cis gendered" implies that a person is born with a mentality that aligns with their bioological sex, and this "word" is used by people who claim their mentality doesn't align with their sex, while also claiming the contradicting notion that mentalities and biological sex are somehow linked, despite those very people being evidence to the contrary.
It's actually ironic.
Even moderately intelligent people know that mental genders are fiction, because objectively speaking, they are, and the fact that people are born who don't fit male or female stereotypes, is proof of that, yet those same stereotype breakers insist that the stereotype is real and that something is wrong with them.
This is a relatively new thing, it's just some bs gen z made up, because they could not come to terms with the already well established fact that anyone can like anything and still be normal and not "in the wrong body".
It is essentially trying to create a problem out of nothing. And the craziest of these people have genital surgery in an effort go fix a problem that doesn't exist
TheSpaceGnome
to* not go
It's actually a pretty old word
I'm not trans because I like girly things I'm trans because I literally feel like a woman. Mental genders aren't fiction or else I would t be this way
define "feel like a woman"
I'm a guy because I have a penis and balls, I don't "feel like a guy" (or a girl) mentally, because thats not an actual thing.
Trans people keep saying mental genders exist, but every last one of them admits to stereotyping thus far, and can't provide any actual logic or proof behind thinking that men and women think differently.
Men and women don't think differently.
I feel like a scientist, an artist, a gamer, an engineer, and a few other things, but I don't feel like a gender, I can't even begin to comprehend what that would even mean because it makes no sense.
Also men don't think like other men, and women don't think like other women.
People in general have strong individualized preferences, opinions, feelings, knowledge, comprehension skills, sensations, etc.
In fact, a person saying that they feel like they are in the wrong body, is proof of both stereotyping, and the fact that mental genders are fiction.
Why? Because if a guy thinks differently than a given stereotype for guys, then it's the stereotype thats wrong, not the body.
This is because if it were the body that was wrong, then the stereotype would be true, and if the stereotype were true, then it wouldn't be possible for a male to think like that, and yet many men do.
Definition of cis: Cisgender describes a person whose gender identity is the same as their sex assigned at birth. The word cisgender is the antonym of transgender. The prefix cis- is not an acronym or abbreviation of another word; it is derived from Latin meaning on this side of.
I am so confused by all these ism-based ideologies and verbs, terms and short phrases we use for people and I am a young guy who's doing his Masters. I don't understand this world. No wonder I prefer being home, watching the game and cooking a meal for myself. Rather then going out to meet fake friends and try to "fit" in by being confused of my identity within a social framework. If you aren't comfortable with your true self, people will always be confused with who they are. We will label men as Simps for going after women. But then say women who use OnlyFans for business-savvy, come on now lol. Now i'm reading stories online of people who want to go back to their previous gender and regret getting surgery. If you are born a girl be happy you are a girl. If you are a boy, be happy you are a boy. Don't feel pressured to change yourself for others. It's not my business for someone's sexual orientation, gay or straight but people's ideologies shouldn't be forced on others and that's why I believe this world is in a precarious state.
Being trans isn't an ideology. I'm not pressured into being trans, I'm being myself.
Like I said there are people who changed their gender and regret, so you can't speak on behalf of millions or if not billions of people in this world. If you look at it strictly through your lens then you don't see the other side of it. Personally, I don't know why here in Toronto there are gay pride parades with gay naked adults with little kids, that's pedophilia. Yet, police officers will say that's okay to be in public and completely naked especially around minors. What if I was naked on the beach because I saw women there, should I get charged with indecent exposure? The answer is yes, I should be charged. I know someone will read this and say to me "OMG dude relax let people have fun of who they are". Any horny guy can say "let me have fun with women" does that make it right, no it does not. Therefore, it is an ideology that they are trying to enforce. Teaching this stuff to little kids in elementary school isn't "cool". A child's mind isn't developed yet. My sister told me Chucky the doll was real when I was a kid, kid's will believe anything they hear whether its right or wrong. All I worried about as a kid in the 90s was comic books, my guy friends, cartoons, chocolate bars and sports, that's it. I have zero interest in "Sexual identity" because teachers didn't teach that stuff in the 90s, and many of my guy friends back then didn't care either when we were in elementary school because I asked them 20 years later.
Yeah I hate what the movement has become. I'm Christian and conservative. Being LGBT doesn't mean you believe in the pervert ideology shit.
If the school curriculum changed next year or 5 years from now about teaching the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) would you accept that or would you get annoyed and say "why are schools enforcing us to learn about this stuff, I don't care about how Muslims lived in the Ottoman Empire or who Jesus was or is". I believe in God but religion should not be imposed on others and regardless whether its an ideology or faith based or whatever stick to the basics in school -- math, science, technology, social studies (i. e: English-driven courses) depending where someone lives that does not talk about "sexual identity" and thats it. To be clear, yes, when someone is an adult, 18 years old or whatever they can make their own choices of what the want to learn in post-secondary education (university or college) and i'm fine with that, it's that person's money.
I never went to college and I'm glad I didn't I don't believe Christianity should be taught in school but someone should feel free to express their Christian beliefs in school
see my last comment, i didn't realize you were christian so it changes my response. I wasn't trying to argue, I thought if you are pro-LGBTQ thats fine if you are an adult, but in life there should be limits is what I am saying. Toronto has a lot of gay people and I don't discriminate but I'm not about that scene of partying whether someone is straight or gay.

I'm genderfluid but I find Cis a very dumb not needed thing. And if you were to call me it, I would just look at you like your dumb even if I wasn't genderfluid.
Some words are unneeded we don't call Not depressed people a name to classify them. We don't call a Non parent something else to identify them.
By such logic we would have Anti-parents that every adult would be called until they have children... or Anti-depressed people.
Just don't make a lot of sense. Not everything needs an emphasis on what it is.
Cis is a very needed word. I need it.

I just explained why it wasn't. But you go live in your world were Non-parents need a name and people who are not depressed need a name just don't expect me to because that's dumb af.
Well you're not trans anyway lol
Nope but i am not Cis either. So go figure.

I don't like it the same way I don't like "step" I just don't like how it sounds. But people get confused when I call my dad my dad and also my dad my dad they don't know which I'm talking about, so I do sometimes have to use "step." And if someone asks me I'll use "cis" too. I just wish it was spelled or pronounced different I don't like it like it is. Can we pick a different language? "Trans" sounds nice. "Cis" sounds like "cyst" that's just gross. And "step" just sounds silly to me for some reason.
Its stupid. I was born normal, I'm normal. Don't try to add extra labels to what is the norm dictated by nature, science, and society. If freaks want to be a billion different genders when only two exist that's their own mental illness to deal with. Don't include us in that brain diseased social experiment. I never asked to be apart of this idiotic little game y'all got going on with genders. Back when I was growing up we played with cards and video games not with gender stupidity. Find new games/hobbies and if some trans calls me a cis I take it as an open invitation to address them by their biological reality.

Because it's disrespectful AF.
My identity is what it says on my birth certificate not the "cool label of the day", much less enjoy some random person that has no type of meaningful relationship with me having the audacity to talk about me, much less calling me anything but my name.
And finally, I'm Hispanic. Even though I understand and can speak Latin, it's a dead language. I don't around calling or assigning Latin or Spanish words/labels to random people.
I act how I want to act, I screw who I want to screw. I dress how I want to dress. And all of this is my problem and no one's business unless I invite them in.
How is it disrespectful? It's not a a "cool label of the day" it's just a word describing the fact that you're not transgender.
NetSapien
I just said why.. how do you know if I'm transgendered or not? How do you know if I'm cis-gendered or not? Are you judging by visual determination? Is it because the way I dress? Who gave you the authority to make these determinations for me?
This is the gist as to why it's disrespectful. It's nobody's business. Neither label defines who or what I am, only my actions do. And none of it have any relevance to my psychological identity, because the only thing that identifies me, is my name.
Being cis or trans is a matter of fact. It's not me using some authority to determine by judging clothes. I don't determine whether you're cis or trans, God does.
I never said being cis or trans defines you. Being trans doesn't define me. Neither does being born male define me. But I'm trans and that's just a fact.
When I have to say "She is a not-transgender woman" I'd like to have a word to use. Saying "biological woman" or "genetic woman" is disrespectful.
I'm not asking this rhetorical question to be rude but, With all the disrespect I have to go through for being trans isn't it unfair to complain about disrespect as a cis person? I get disrespect constantly
Your question was "How do you feel about being called cis", not "How do you feel about being cis"
If in a conversation regarding the differences or similarities, or even the struggles of, then talking generally about a "Trans Woman" or a "Biological Woman", or even a "Cis Woman" there's no disrespect. But simply pointing out, that X person is this or that, is.
I know this isn't a rhetorical question or that you're intending to be rude. I'm in no way getting offended.
I'm just trying to explain why I don't take kindly to being qualified as anything but a "man". I'm not a ''cis man", "alpha man", "beta man", "trans man", I'm just, a "man". I accept that my personality is a very dominant one, but I'm not a "dominant man", I'm a "man".
I don't like it. I'm fine with identifying as a man. It just seems redundant to me unless it was used in a certain case in which someone needed to identify my sexual identity/preference and I'm not sure why they would or would matter to them. Doesn't happen very often for me at least I'm my life. So by saying someone is a cis male it's pretty much like calling someone a "man who prefers heterosexual relationships" in my opinion and I don't really see how that is even relevant information to most people unless of course you were describing ones gender for specific purposes.
Well since I'm transgender there are many more scenarios in which I would need to specify whether someone is cis or trans
Makes sense I guess. That's just personal opinion
Dontaaaa
Being called "Cis" by itself isn't bad, yeah, that's obvious.
But I always see people online align that word with bad shit.
Ex: All Cis men are trash
That's just one example out of many, so I don't wanna be called that.
That oughta be valid since so many damn people nowadays wanna be called something.
She/her he/him they/them and all that shit.
All that shit is supposedly valid so me not wanting to be called "cis" oughta be valid as well.
Checkmate.
I don't like it*
I don't use it like that. It's just a word.
Psh, as if you never got mad when anyone called you a bad word, get real.
Cis isn't a bad word it's just the antonym of trans
Doesn't "Cisgender" mean straight? I'm going to be honest, I'm am soooo confused with all these sexual terms... pansexual, demisexual, asexual, bisexual, sapisexual... there's too many sex-type phrases out there and it's getting super annoying. Can't we just use straight, gay/lesbian, bi? Seriously? It would make life soooo much easier!! NOW... onto the question at hand.
I DO NOT like the term "cis". It reminds me of the term, "Sissy". Do you know what a sissy is by definition? A person regarded as effeminate or cowardly.
Why are we trying to change being straight into cis? Like... y'all keep trying to find ways to push this agenda.
I agree with you entirely about all those made up sexualities. It's hetero, homo, and bi. But cisgender isn't the same as straight. Im straight. Cisgender isn't a sexuality at all. It just means you're not trans
RichSD
I'm curious, you say you're straight. You realize that any straight man will interpret that to mean you like the opposite sex from which you were born into. You can't be a straight transexual woman who prefers men, you are still homosexual. Because, as often is pointed out, sex isn't gender.
Am I right in guessing that part of your frustration is the fact that typical straight men will never find you attractive?
@RichSD You can call me a man all you want, you don't even know me all you know is I'm trans, just don't expect me to call myself a man. To me I'm a woman, I'm attracted to men and thusly straight, and a lot of straight men find me attractive. It's gay men that never find me attractive, hoss. You're so annoying and I'm blocking you the next time you want to talk down to me like I'm trash instead of communicating as equals. I know you're going to keep saying rude, condescending things I just wanted to give you a last chance to realize you're speaking to a person.
I'm not talking down to you, I'm telling you the way things are. I never said you are a man, I said you are not the same as a biological woman. And you will never be considered attractive by a man who is by definition straight. Just deal with it, you can't change all straight men just because you want to. You have no idea whether I'm gay or straight or trans, do you? You make a lot of assumptions. You assume that anyone who doesn't agree with you must be against you. You're wrong, I'm on your side in this. But I'm trying to help save you a lifetime of hurt since you happened to be the one asking. It's a terrible thing to be stuck in a body you can't be happy with, but the unhappy part is in your mind, you can't blame others. No amount of wishing will make straight men see you the same as a woman, even if you looked identical and sounded the same. By defnition, they would be at least bi if they find you attractive because it's impossible to make you physically the same as a biological female, let alone mentally the same. Why do you need to make an enemy out of everyone?
@RichSD Lmao 1) u know the way things are, I live this
2) Most trans-attracted men make it clear to me that they are not attracted to men.
@RichSD I didn't mean to post that I wasn't done but anyway I'm not asking you for any kind of help and you're not offering any help. I don't hate you or think you're particularly bad I just don't appreciate how you've been talking to me
I know the way things are, I live this
Adam1978 | 642 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Don't label me with your mindsets. That is a term you never ever needs to call me before I used it myself. Which I never will. My advice is to remove all labels when you speak to people and let them decide which they want to apply and from there decide if your willing to grant them the label.
horsegirl111
Your are whatever you want to be, whether you're cis or trans or straight or lgbtq+. If you don't like a label, don't use it, if you like a label, use it. Either way you're perfectly valid and matter to this world. Anyone who feels the need to put others down, for being who they are and living their truth, to help their poor little egos can go suck it.
Lionman95 | 297 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Because I don't see a need for it. I might be traditional but I'm not buying all those gender studies stuff. For me every body are people with different definitions of male and female.
For me it just makes life over complicated with no significant worth of it.
Well I'm trans so I do see a big need for the word cis. I don't care if other people use it I just don't get why they're so offended by it. They get offended by the word cis then call us snowflakes for being tired of going through hell. lmao
ChrisMaster69 | 1.5K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
I really don't get bothered about labels.
people should be who they feel like at that moment without a label.
yes we use them to pigeon hole people as a point of reference, however who really cares if someone is X Y or Z, it's the person that counts.
Yeah, everyone respects me and considers me a woman until I say I'm transgender. Then I suddenly turn into some crazy Marxist liberal on Twitter trying to control peoples thoughts.
Uhh you thought I was a woman before I told you im trans im not controlling anybody
ChrisMaster69
An example of what you are on about is the attraction thing.
A guy is attracted to the woman he is looking at, how she is, how she looks etc.
This does not change if they find out she is trans.
Yes in reality a lot will be repulsed, however it does not change the fact they were (are) attracted.
It also does not mean they are instantly bisexual because they thought a trans girl is hot.
Trans girls are girls straight men can think were hot.
When they look at your DNA they would determine you to be a man. When they look at your skeleton they would determine you to be a man.
You insult women when you claim that you are one as much as they are. No you're not. You weren't dressed in pink as a baby, didn't go to kindergarten in a dress, didn't use the girls room in elementary school, didn't get talked to about your upcoming period and what it is, didn't have your first or any periods, didn't go through puberty as a girl, never worried about being pregnant. None of that.
They had a very different life experience as a group than you. At best you are a trans woman but not a real woman. They are not Cis gendered, they are girls and women or boys and men. You don't get to tell everyone what they are. You can be you but that's where it ends. If you don't see yourself as a man, fine. But you are not a woman. You are something else in you mind although your body knows exactly what it is.
FilmGuy93 | 563 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
It's not a term I use, but I don't particularly mind people using it to describe me. I find the whole concept of the word "cisgender" rather silly. Like, why do we need any word besides "normal" to describe someone who identifies with social constructs associated with the sexual anatomy they had at birth?
Because as a trans person if I call people who aren't trans normal I'm going to feel bad about myself. That makes sense right?
FilmGuy93
I get the logic, but why is "normal" something you would ever aspire to? Rather than encouraging you to be normal, I would rather encourage you to be you. What do you identify as?
Normal is something I aspire to be because I hate being trans, it ruined my life and I don't think I'll ever get to be happy like a cis woman. the more normal I appear to be the better I will be treated. I identify as a woman.
Calling them ciswomen isn't going to change the way you feel about yourself. You have to get to a place of self acceptance on your own. It's a tough road but it's one worth traveling.
I could never be a man 😭
And you don't have to be a man if you don't want.
ODC2112 | 157 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Cis means on this side and trans on the other, but the term implies a boundary that does not exist in sexuality. Therefore the name is incorrect which does not surprise me given the vast ignorance of those who support such theories.
From my point of view it is correct only heterosexual end sane, that is, that it addresses the opposite sex understood as physical sex determined by the presence of natural primary sexual organs opposite to those of the subject. Sane in terms of mind sanity i. e. free of disorders/disphories related to sexual identity.
The only things that make me cis or trans are cisaplino and transpadano.
RichSD | 50 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
Cis isn't needed because a real male or female doesn't need any prefix. The implication that they do is just a push to pretend that somehow transexuals are the same, but they're not. Maybe in 200 years there will be medical advances that allow a real sex change, but until that day, they do not exist. And even then, they will be artificial and will still need a prefix whereas real genders don't.
I'm just as good as a cis woman!!! 🥰
Nobody says cis makes anyone better or worse, but being trans doesn't turn you into the gender you imagine you want to be. In fact, you have no idea what it's like to be in the actual opposite sex's head. We're wired differently, you can see it on brain scans. Mens' brains are also about 10% larger, and we have areas focusing on different things. It's OK that we're different though.
Lol I don't think like a man. That's the point.
You don't think like a woman either. Your ability to know how they feel is zero. They are different, their brains have different amounts of gray and white matter, different sizes for different structures, different hormones doing different things. You may be right that you don't think the same way as a typical man, that's obviously true, but you have zero idea how women feel so you can't possibly know if you feel like one. That'd be like saying you think like a parrot. How could you possibly know?
I know I think like a woman because I do. I would try to help you understand but I don't think you're interested in understanding me. Transphobes don't want to do anything but tell me I'm a man and I'm not entertaining them anymore. That being said you weren't disrespectful like other people you just want to make me uncomfortable by telling me I'm a man like transphobes.
But yeah I think and feel like a woman and I've been living as a girl for half my life (since 14) so I have a bunch of female experiences too.
In fact I don't have a clue what being a man is like but I remember being a boy.
I'm not being cruel to you I'm just telling you how most people who understand science believe. Transexuals are not the same, and I'm sorry this makes your life unhappy but it's true. You may really deep down think you know how biological women's minds work, but you literally have no way to possibly know. If you are a different gender than man, it's something other than woman. They are not the same as you are. You can never be one of them. But that doesn't mean you should decide you can't be happy. Odds are pretty good if you were born a woman, you would have found some other reason to be unhappy with yourself. That's the human condition. You are luckily living in a time where you can at least get cosmetic surgery done and maybe be able to pretend but that's all it really is. Because you can't know what a biological woman's life is like. I know the current trends are moving towards trying to tell everyone that transexuals are the same, but they're not and they shouldn't have to be. Why can't you be proud of who you really are? Until you choose to do that you'll never be happy, because no amount of pretending and comsetics will affect the way you judge yourself.
I'm not the same as a cis woman and I never said I was. But I am a woman. I'm not pretending anything. I'm me. Why are y'all like this? Like why are y'all so negative? Why do y'all talk down to us like you know me better than I do? I don't need cosmetic surgery, I transitioned as a child. "If I'm a different gender than man I'm not a woman" lol there's 2 genders.
Here I'm sick of y'all saying I'm a man pretending to be a woman. That's what insults me most. I'm just myself. Which is a woman. I don't do go out of my way to do anything just to pretend I'm a woman. I went out of my way to pretend to be a boy before I transitioned. But I don't go out of my way to be who I literally am.
I'm not pretending to be a woman or altering my appearance and I'm not tricking anyone because the person I am isn't a trick. It's me. I'm just me. ↗
Being transgender isn't trendy. Transphobia is. ↗
You can't know what it's like to be a biological woman, it's physically impossible. It's not an insult, it's just a statement of fact. You may have a lot in common, but you're not the same. If someone were to tell you they're 100% sure they think the same way as a wolf, that doesn't mean they're right. They can't know what a wolf thinks like, can they? Your brain was developed and born with a certain amount of hormones and structures that are easy to identify even post-op, as not being the same as a female. That doesn't mean you're less of a person, you're not. But by insisting you are something doesn't make it true and it's only going to lead to a life of heartache if you try. If you choose to be a transexual female, then be one and be OK with the fact cis women are not the same. You don't get endless choices in the world, you can't choose to be tall and redheaded and blue eyed no matter how much you want, either, but people live with that all their lives. Maybe part of what makes you feel like you're not "the same" as everyone else, is your assumption that we don't all have the same kind of insecurities about things in our lives that aren't exactly the way we wish they were. EVERYONE in the world wishes something was a little different. But don't let yourself become depressed that you'll never be a cis female, because you'll just live a depressed life and nobody will give you a gold star at the end for your suffering. Try to find something about the real you that you like and want to improve. The transexual you if that's what you trully believe you are. But as long as you continue to believe you need to be the same as biological women to be valuable, you'll never be happy. You can't change who you are even with a new body. You have to choose happiness, because it doesn't happen for anyone automatically.
Let me ask a simple question, do you usually let people know you're not born female before flirting with them? If you do so and you don't feel like it's lying, keep in mind a lot of those guys still will. No good will come from a relationship that's not built on trust, and leaving something like that out is pretty crucial. Among other things, most guys want a family someday and they don't want to adopt. Granted, some women are also unable to have kids, but the responsible ones would also say so before beginning a relationship. There are just some things a straight man looks for in a woman that a transgender woman can never provide.
I literally never said I'm the exact same as a cis woman.
Most of what you're saying is factual but the fact that you feel the need to say it for no reason makes you an asshole and I'm not reading all that. You see how that makes sense right?
I don't flirt, but I'm not going to tell someone I'm trans the first conversation I have.
If you would actually like to speak with me you can do so in DM, you might be less condescending that way.
Sarahr123 | 147 opinions shared on Society & Politics topic.
I think tags are so dumb because people are born male or female end of conversation.
Trans are not real men/women of whatever they transition to. They just pump their body with hormones and mutilate themselves to appear as if they were the opposite sex. It's actually creepy but we are forced to accept it as normal
That's a mean attitude 🥺 I'm not creepy!

Q: Inject a component property into another component's constructor parameter with Autofac With Autofac IoC container, say one has the following scenario:
public interface IHaveASpecialProperty
{
  SpecialType SpecialProperty { get; }
}

public class HaveASpecialPropertyImpl : IHaveASpecialProperty
{
  // implementation
}

public class SomeComponent
{
  public SomeComponent(SpecialType special)
  {
    _special = special;

    // rest of construction
  }

  private readonly SpecialType _special;

  // implementation: do something with _special
}

// in composition root:

containerBuilder.RegisterType<HaveASpecialPropertyImpl>
  .As<IHaveASpecialProperty>();

containerBuilder.RegisterType<>(SomeComponent);

Is there a way to register, within Autofac container, the HaveASpecialPropertyImpl type to act as a kind of provider/ factory of SpecialType instances?
What I currently have is this classic approach:
public class SomeComponent
{
  public SomeComponent(IHaveASpecialProperty specialProvider)
  {
    _special = specialProvider.SpecialProperty;

    // rest of construction
  }

  private readonly SpecialType _special;

  // implementation: do something with _special
}

The rationale is basically related to the Law of Demeter: specialProvider is used only to grab a SpecialType instance, which instead is the actual dependency needed and used by SomeComponent, so it seems reasonable to just inject that SpecialType instance, without concerning SomeComponent on where that instance comes from.
PS: I've read about Delegate Factories, not sure if that's the (only?) way to go.

A: You can register a delegate :
builder.Register(c => c.Resolve<IHaveASpecialProperty>().SpecialProperty)
       .As<ISpecialType>();

Using this registration, each time you will resolve a ISpecialType Autofac will resolve a IHaveASpecialProperty and return the SpecialProperty property value as ISpecialType.

The Bird Girl
Green Mansions
by William Henry Hudson
"I began to hear . . . a low strain of exquisite bird-melody, wonderfully pure and expressive, unlike any musical sound I had ever heard before."
Green Mansions Chapter II, W. H. Hudson
Green Mansions: a Romance of the Tropical Forest (1904) is an exotic romance by W. H. Hudson (1841-1922) about a traveler to the Guyana jungle of southeastern Venezuela and his encounter with a forest dwelling girl named Rima. Hudson was born in Argentina, son of settlers of U.S. origin.
He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He settled in England during 1869. He produced a series of ornithological studies which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Hudson wrote more than three dozen books during his life but by far his best known novel is Green Mansions, and his best known non-fiction is a memoir, Far Away and Long Ago (1918).
When I began to reread Green Mansions recently I instantly remembered why it impressed me so much. More than most other authors Hudson is able to instill the sense of wonder through his protagonist Abel who, while living by the Orinoco river in Venezuela, is drawn to the forest lands by strange bird-like singing. There he discovers a young girl named Rima and it is her story that takes up much of the remainder of the novel. She is unspoiled and wild like the animals among whom she lives. She knows neither the evil nor guile common to most civilized humans. This gives her supernatural stature in the eyes of the worldly Abel, who falls passionately in love with her.
Hudson based Rima and her lost tribe on persistent rumors about a tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. Temple paintings often showed light-skinned people, and Spanish Conquistadors were at first thought to be gods. I first read this novel when I was in high school and the memory of its' evocative and lyrical prose has lingered over the intervening decades. With qualities of a striking and original sort it has an enchantment; its pages are haunted by an unearthly perception of beauty and a wonderment that stirs the imagination. The story is one of people who are almost in an original state of nature, a romantic, if flawed, view (perhaps inspired by Rousseau) that suggests their world may be better than civilization.
Green Mansions is one of the few novels ever to become an undisputed classic during the author's lifetime. It inspired a statue of Rima that you can find in Kensington Garden, London. It is a book I found to be truly enthralling and full of romantic magic making it a great read.
