follow up question: have you always known you were cis? did your parents make you play with nerf guns if you are a cis boy or with dresses if you are a cis girl???
They didn’t make me play with Nerd guns because they were anti-gun, I had to beg my Mom to get one because my Dad is so staunchly anti-gun.
Same for my family for a while
I had to hide my orange toy snubnose from my dad. Luckily I didn’t put it in my backpack or a cop might’ve come and shot me lol
I think most people just weren’t given options when they were young. People’s parents are just like “you have x parts and thus have this societal role.” Some, like mine will encourage you to express yourself however you feel, but there’s never presented any alternative to “you are your agab”
