Most cis people do understand their gender identity, I think.

The "they feel they were born in the right body" part is waaaay off, though. I was born in the cheapest body they could find in the back that would still technically run for a few decades. It wasn't "right" as much as briefly available and technically alive enough for the doctors to let my parents take it home with them. There are entire pieces that don't run at all, others are way out of spec, none of them look good. It's a mess in here.

I suppose I know cause I'm apathetic to how society perceives me gender wise.

as a cishet dude I also had the privilege to not worry about it that much. toxic masculinity can suck but if your family doesn't get weird about it you can just live without your gender really occupying much of your brain. I learned what I learned way later in life because it became an issue politically.

But in my personal life irl and online I have the privilege to afford to not care if I'm misgendered. weird thinking about how easily I could've been a wreck if I felt I was in the wrong body though.

you might get comments and whatnot but people get bullied for all kinds of things anyway. this is why I'm ultimately a gender abolitionist I guess, people gendering everything (toys, activities, clothes) never made sense to me.

I think the whole concept is pointless ultimately, but of course as long as we live in a gendered society I believe in people's right to be and express theirs however they like. trans rights are human rights.

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 🤔

Uhoh. I’ve been caught 👮🚓
