Would you rather have been born cis or accepted as trans?

    Admittedly, cis female would have been easier.

    But I've gained so much from being a trans female, I think I would like to be female/trans. Admittedly, it's tougher, but there are priceless experiences I've found going through all this.

    Peace

    Same here. Sure it would've been easier to have been born cis, but being genderfluid has shaped my identity and personality so much, even way before I knew I was genderfluid. Had I been born cis, I would've been a completely different person. I love who I am and I wouldn't change it for anything... well maybe gender bending abilities, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the question :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I would rather be accepted as trans; people would be ok with my gender and it would be a lot easier. Even though being cis might be better for some, for me idk, I'm attached to being genderqueer. I'm not in the binary and as a result of that I'm not sure whether I would like to be a cis male or a cis female anyways. But if I had to choose, I suppose I would be a cis female and be more comfortable with what I've got, but I don't have super pressing dysphoria so I'm not always that uncomfortable in my body anyways.

    Being genderqueer is important to me, besides. It's a part of me and choosing to be cis would be giving up what I've accepted about myself with my gender identity, I guess. I agree with what BostonStranger said here:

    Replace genderfluid with genderqueer, but yeah :slight_smile:

    I'd rather be accepted as trans. I feel it's been a part of who I am for a looong time.

    Born cis; why feel so estranged from society and be seen as different all the time?
