Hello Rob!

 RM> (National Democratic Party - a far left political party here.)

 RM> Apparently they have come up with a new rule.. To be
 RM> considered to run for party leader you need 500 party
 RM> member votes.. BUT.. If it turns out that more than 50% of
 RM> those who voted for you are CIS Males, then you won't be
 RM> accepted.

Huh.. there is now a distinction between "a male who accepts  
their gender assigned at birth", and a hetro?


 RM> A CIS Male is someone who was born male and, as an adult, is
 RM> still a heterosexual male. So apparently we don't count as
 RM> much as everyone else...

Maybe the consideration is that a cismale is not necessarily  
hetro.   But.. what should that matter in a political election?

 RM> At least they didn't just go after white people this
 RM> time.. Thumbs down to ALL CIS males..

I dunno what to think.
