Title and image source from this Mastodon toot by [email protected]. I even took the damn title because I couldn’t think of anything more apt.

As always, respect my trans homies or I make your pronouns was/were.

    Being cis doesn’t mean we automatically are comfortable in our own skin, and a lot of this introspection is universal to the human experience, and super valuable. Everyone should have this dialogue with themselves at some point.

      Having trans people in my life led me to question my relationship with gender. In doing so, I discovered that while I am cisgender, I have a lot of hangups about the expectations of my gender in society and among certain cultural groups, including the one I was raised in. It’s helped to resolve some things in my mind and discover things about myself, and I’m grateful for that.

      This is why “gender affirming care” isn’t just for trans people. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable with who they are!
