Here it goes again with "cis" and calling "genders"...
Why not just being yourself, dress the way YOU want and that makes you comfortable and just don't give a fuck about those social conventions or people's opinions?

Because the reality is that I am trans, it impacts my experience every day. The world often uses people's transness as an excuse to marginalize or persecute them. I can't ignore that. I have to stand against it. And pretending it's not a thing is not the way to do it.

Accepting yourself first and stop judging people assuming they'll reject you would be a start. As for the others, they're always be bullies and ignorant people and they have to be stop or taught the fact we're all different and that's OK! Now I'll just...pic.twitter.com/Uoo6slzXfY

I have been an out, proud trans woman on a site that got me negative attention from tens of thousands of hostile viewers and readers. You better believe I have “accepted myself.” And trans people have a reason to be guarded: it’s because we ARE harassed and persecuted.
