CIS PEOPLE: I WANT YOU TO TAKE HALF AN HOUR SOMETIME AND THINK ABOUT YOUR GENDER. REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, HARD. NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE POSSIBLY TRANS (THOUGH MAYBE YOU ARE, IDK), BUT BECAUSE IT'LL LEAD YOU TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A PART OF YOURSELF THAT SOCIETY LETS YOU LEAVE UNEXAMINED

I don't have a gender identity. I have a sex. And I've thought about it as ALL WOMEN HAVE. It's really obvious what the sex is of anyone who would think women don't have to think about their sex and how sex stereotypes affect them.

Everyone has a gender identity tho

I know being born a girl in this society influence how I present myself (dress, long hair, etc.). I had to let go of some conditioning i received and that do not fit with me. I wouldn't say that gender is an identity. it's social categorization.

It can be both. We have how we feel on the inside and what society agrees to call that and unfortunately also how to treat that. Because we experience gender internally, it becomes part of our identity just like ethnicity, sexuality, family roles, etc.

Gender is tied to sex.A lot of people reject gender as it implies that if you are a certain sex, you must be this or that. For those who want to be free from prejudice based on sex, saying everybody as a gender identity or someone is 'cis' is alienating.

Rejecting gender norms is different to experiencing gender (or lack thereof, character limits, yknow?). Cis is just if your gender matches your agab, it's not enforcing gender roles because man/woman covers a wide range of experiences and you can decide what that means for you!
