Hey, we haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet, and I've really been itching to ask everyone this question so we can get updated numbers on our trans population here. This isn't going to be scientific or anything, but just a quick guess.

Please respond to this post with a 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'. If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

spoilerhi!

No. But a very soft no because I think I'd like being a woman just as well but pretty sure It's not reflective of gender that I present or feel? But no accounting at the moment should count me as gender diverse lol

I'm also a definite no, but I've always imagined that gender not being important to you comes with being cisgendered. Like, I've always been comfortable with the way I was born, so it's a lot easier for me to conceptualize being comfortable being born a different way than it is to picture being uncomfortable either way.

Typing this out now though, is this the same thing? Like I identify much more as someone who's content with how they were born than I do with being a man, the second thing just came along automatically with the first thing. Is there any reason people would distinguish between what I'm describing here and a cisgendered person who really values that they weren't born the wrong sex?

Maybe dumb questions, being honest I don't understand gender at all because I never feel any pressure to think about it.
