Cis people, I need you to understand that our genders as trans people are deeper and so much more complex than you could possibly imagine.

The minute you think you& #39;ve figured us out is the minute you& #39;ve lost.

There& #39;s layers we never really share with y& #39;all.
Like I just retweeted something from a transfemme who signed up for an Onlyfans-like site who then labeled her a trans boy because she has short hair, breasts, and talks about being a boy a lot.

Because gender isn& #39;t as simple as even the cis people who accept trans people think.
Agreed, but with the way we categorize "cis" and "trans" I think the second a "cis" person really starts interrogating their gender, they& #39;d be welcome to call themselves trans and probably would. "Cis" almost means "blind to the complexities of gender" https://twitter.com/EconEnby/status/1301170861685305350?s=19">https://twitter.com/EconEnby/...
Guess what? A lot of trans women are into forcefemming!

I& #39;ve met some trans guys into it too!

If that confuses you, you& #39;re too latched on to the limiting and wrong view of gender that cisheteronormative society feeds you.
Another example: I& #39;m an agender woman.

"But doesn& #39;t agender mean genderless or no gender?"

Yes.

"So how can you be a woman?"

The best attempt I could give to explain it is to use metaphors. All I can say is it& #39;s what my gender is. It doesn& #39;t need to make sense to you.
A lot of bad faith assholes might think this is just us trying to feel special or whatever

I assure you of my gender was simpler than what it is, I& #39;d latch onto that & share it proudly

I& #39;m describing what I found when I delved deeper into myself than any cis person could dream
YUP

Guess what I tell 100% of cis people my gender is?

Trans woman.

I& #39;m lucky enough that that label mostly fits. Some of us have to make even bigger sacrifices describing ourselves. https://twitter.com/alliesander/status/1301172811919106048?s=19">https://twitter.com/alliesand...
