#tldr its not a moral failure to identify with ur assigned gender and to argue that would be incredibly ridiculous

the thing thats always missing in conversations about gender in general is the fact that 'cis', as an identity, is not a innate Thing Some People Are, but rather a state of acceptance society grooms us into from birth
#im sorry but no one is inherently 'cis' bc gender is inherently not real (saying this in cool trans way not transphobe way).
#being 'cis' just means you live as the gender youve been assigned. being 'genuinely' cis in a way where youre not repressing anything and
#you're truly happy to be that way means you're the ideal and desired endgame of the whole gendered culture and have been successfully
#groomed into accepting only half of yourself (the half that can exist in the gender role you inhabit)
#Like every culture agrees that people have both 'masculine' and 'feminine' within them but on entry to the earth the vast majority of peopl
#are placed within a role that rewards either 'masculine' or 'feminine' but not both. and of course everyone continues to be both but
#theyve still been placed in one role.
#To be honest i think we need to rid ourselves of the idea of gender as something innate even though its nice to teach to well-meaning
#liberal cis people. 'born this way' dogma was a useful vehicle to pitch existence in but its unhelpful when queer people actually act like
#its the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
#dont get me wrong i couldnt be a girl cause i self destructed and died and that was just something within me. totally that is a thing 100%.
#hashtag born this way. but just because it doesnt go that far for some people doesnt mean that theyre Innately Cis. it means they accept
#their circumstance and r priviledged to be able to do so. thats what cis means
#to be clear: i say being cis is the result of grooming. thats not to say that people who reject cisness are smarter or more radical
#necessarily or doing the right thing. some people stay cis and push the boundaries of that role wherever possible and thats just as radical
#i think in fact its more radical than trans people who ruthlessly uphold gender roles
#tldr its not a moral failure to identify with ur assigned gender and to argue that would be incredibly ridiculous
#but the only reason u feel identification with it at all is because of the grooming. shrug emoji.

#Disclaimer if anyone wants to pick a fight that i do literally identify as trans so take of that what you will
