Down with Cis

"Down with Cis" is a meme originating from a Tumblr blogger's obviously fake account of exaggerated cisphobia with no parallels in the real world.

On April 4th, 2015, the following post was made by foreverhonest:

"Here’s a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there.""Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with “Down with Cis” shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked a bit too, but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up."The trans community adopted the slogan "down with cis" to anger gullible and transphobic people who believed the story, putting the phrase on t-shirts and photoshopping it onto cartoon characters. The OP of the story insisted that that the events she described had truly happened for a year before finally calling the post, and other transphobic comments that they had made, satire.undefined
