    I think most cis people don’t understand their own gender that well. If you’re trans you’re kind of forced to do research about gender to find a sense of your identity. Through this research you learn a lot about what gender entails.

    I don’t think a lot of cis people can even explain how they know they’re cis lol

    • I kinda wonder sometimes how many cis people actually are cis and just haven’t had a reason to confront it. Like, I thought I was for a long time so it’s not unreasonable to me that there are probably a lot more trans people than any of us think, they just don’t ever discover it 🤔

        That could mean a lot of things. Many people who say that don’t really know what gender entails and thus don’t notice in what ways gender impacts their life. I used to say it before I realised I am trans. It could also mean that you’re agender.

          I’m agender and I’m confident I’m agender because I’m always a tad confused when someone refers to me as my assigned-at-birth/default gender. It just doesn’t click for me. No dysphoria, just confusion and a half beat of “oh! They mean me!”
