TSG97: Transgender Vs. Cisgender

Question: in your eyes, what is life like for a cis-gender male and/or female? 
Topic by Taryn, chosen by Diana

Its human nature to compare yourself to other individuals- its called society. Its a way to deduce and compare other peoples lifestyle, opinions, and beliefs with your own, to further understand yourself. Its societal, analytical learning.

We can only live our " OWN "lives, but we can speculate how others live by observing them. This is productive when a open mind is kept, because it broadens your personal horizons of who you are, by seeing the intricacies of someone else.

I would be willing to bet though, from my observations that we, as humans are much similar than different. In the Big picture we face the same things- survival, maintaining- and finding where we fit into the world (society) . From the people who live in tin roofed houses on the fringes of the savannah to prince with the sliver spoon in his mouth.. we all want to live, and be a piece in the puzzle of existence.

Thank you

@pseudonamed I'm sure that someone at some point got a sex change for societal reasons of course but I just don't believe that that's what they're their for. I think you admit you would have known you were in the wring body. What someone does with that is completely up to them.

[pseudonamed]

@5595Miya Hhmm I don't know if I would want to change it, if I had been born in a male body, I may have also accepted that. Being in a male body has certain advantages in this society though. So is being transgender primarily about the body? About feeling that you are in the wrong body? Or sometimes more than that?

@mrclarm I've dated more women than I have men ;)

[AveryBook]

I couldnt imagine you as a male.

@pseudonamed You have to know more about your gender other than fucking stereotypes. Think if you were you in a mans body would you change it?

[pseudonamed]

So since you don't know what it feels like to be a cisgender female, then what do you mean when you say you know you are female/feel female? I don't mean to offend in any way, I think everyone should do whatever makes them happy, I'm just genuinely curious what "feeling female" means to someone not born female, cuz as a cisgender female I don't "feel" female, it's just the sex I happened to end up with, the only thing i share with other females is my experience of being treated "female"

@blondyrockstar Say a guy doesn't follow it but doesn't act er... "queer" as you so eloquently put it. This isn't a scientific term. I'll figure it out, LOL sorry for the headache.

[Zeanu]

@blondyrockstar No, I don't mean a transgender person, I mean a person who accepts his or her sex and lives with it, but doesn't adhere strictly to sociological gender roles. Can be anybody, a heterosexual, even. That's orientation.

[Zeanu]

@blondyrockstar Right. What's the term that's used for people who do not bind themselves to biologically assigned sex or sociological gender roles?
