I genuinely thought this was true in middle school and got confused when my friends didn’t want that (it was still true for me though I’m totally cis you can tell by the way I am)
Yeah, I was pretty much convinced of the same thing while still in school: How could my class mates not want to change their gender? It’s the most amazing thing in the world to do! Who would say no to that?
If it was temporary then sure why not for a day or a week. As a permanent decision with the current level of technology, I don’t see the point at all.
not necessarily for you but for other trans people reading - transition isn’t going to make you cis but it can help a lot of things. at the very least, hormones can potentially provide a lot of mental benefits, even if you won’t get the exact body you want at the end of the day
and, y’know, if they don’t, you can always stop taking them
I want to be treated like a girl in certain situations. But I’m keeping my cock n balls. 😤
Sorry, nope. Do not want.
Specifically, do not want the following:
- menstruation, cramps, PMS etc
- beauty and dress standards
- condescension
- social expectations of conduct
- lower pay and sometimes a hostile work environment (can go for anyone depending on the job - see male nurses)
- clothing without pockets - you can take my cargo pants from my cold dead hands.
Do want (but does not in any way make up for above):
- more colors and patterns in my clothes
- giving birth is kinda cool
i legitimately believe this ~still cis tho~
If this is a joke, I don’t get it. A lot of people don’t really care much about what their gender is
On a surface level, sure, but most cis people never really have to grapple much with their gender identity.
So much this.
It is the very definition of being cis to not understand wanting to be a different gender than the one being assigned at birth. People who are uncomfortable with their assigned gender are not cis.
But many need a while to realize that other people do not feel the way they do.
