By the late 1980s, some men began to reclaim the term sissy for themselves.[13] The spelling variation cissy was used in British English, at least prior to the mid 1970s.[14] In the United States, the Comedy Central television series South Park inverted its meaning in a 2014 episode titled The Cissy, which lampooned the controversy over transgender students' use of school restrooms;[15] in the episode a restroom initially designated for use by transgender students is later re-designated as "the cissy bathroom" for use by trans-phobic cisgender students.
