never had experienced gender dysphoria. I mean, everyone had question their gender at some point, and I'm still confused when I have to state my gender in some forms, but I don't think it's comparable to what trans people feel

yeah I do feel a bit uncomfortable with cis trans dichotomy regarding gender nonconforming people but I personally lump anyone as trans as long as they don't really conform to the gender assigned at birth unless they specifically say they are cis and nonbinary or whatever

I dont think about it at all. Thats the privelege of cisness i suppose.

EDIT: In all seriousness, i was mistaken for opposite gender many times growing up since i had cornrows and white people cant differentiate black children from one another. So Ive always felt comfy in my own understanding of self on that level. It isnt really open to other people's opinions.

Me too. I think if I had the same views of gender thirty years ago that I do now, I would probably have identified as non-binary. I don't think of myself as "male" and not "female" in any significant sense. The only reason I don't adopt non-binary now is habit. One of my kids is NB.

We each have our own cross to bear, and this so happens to be mine. And before anyone judges me for my burdens, I quote from the holy book "They that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at them."

I'd say for me its mostly a blend of apathy and personal dysfunction surrounding becoming non-cis. I'd rather just deny being cis than performing any particular subset of non-cis identities. I think my identification as pansexual/gay-as-a-catchall-for-queer makes my own gender irrelevant.

Long ago I stopped choosing to be cis. I just never landed on anything concrete.

This is coming from someone amab/socialized as a boy, so plenty of privilege and masc-assumedness happens.

I know this was posted as a joke, but as a girl I really struggled with accepting that I was female and I did consider that I was really a boy several times. I think I came to terms with being cis when I considered I mostly hated how society treats women, not necessarily with being a woman (that, and I finally realized its okay to be an androgynous/at times somewhat "masculine" woman).

My whole family is conservative and for them non-cis people is not a thing, my dad/uncles would always be like "walk like a proper man!" "stop being so feminine!" "how many girls did you pickup last night?". So i didn't feel like going against them.

Today i just hope my future partner spanks me in bed.

Who is "cis people"? I don't recall the term being any sociological category prior to Zoomer social media age...

Or perhaps you meant "straight" and binary-gendered?

cis is just not trans in my and most other queer people my age's definition.

Edit: I think u might have located why I was so suprised by the dramatic difference in what I say is cis and other people on raddle. I've grown up with the zoomer social media stuff so my relationship to cis has always been the zoomer social media one

I find it disturbing when people's views derive exclusively from two big tech corporations... Or we could also call them two mainstream media channels, by now. Same old two main channels, right?

Since when is listening to queer teens on Twitter and YouTube the mainstream media. Lol

Depends how you define the mainstream media. Of course, there's the dinosaur media of big TV outlets... But what these internet outlets above have become totally is "mainstream media", in how these are the tech mediations being used massively. These are big businesses doing a lot more money these days than outlets like NYT or Faux News.

Wtf are u on about. I said I got the idea that cis just means not trans from talking to queer teenagers. And then u critique me by saying I just get it from the mainstream media. Like wtf reality are u in? I don't know how new York Times or fox news is relevant.
