I’m trying to understand this and apply it to myself.

How do you feel your gender in your mind?
What am I supposed to be feeling?

[markgabrielaguilar]

What are the Gender Identity choices then? Are there a list of gender identity that I can choose from? Or can I invent another gender identity I feel like I am?

If a person gets mugged and makes a police report. Q. Was the attacker a man or a woman? A. I don't know. I didn't ask.

It’s funny how all the comments are people who aren’t professionals that have opinions on how the real definition of gender is wrong and lies

[adamgrimsley]

"How I feel in my mind" where else do I feel??

Its a boy or a girl .. thats the only fact.. what is happening with the world

so many sad people who are unhappy with how they were born. some want to be taller, thinner, blonder, etc.... I want to be younger (I'm 60), but I can't go around demanding people to play along with that. I can't get mad when the bartender doesn't card me or when young people don't want me at their frat parties. It's ridiculous.

I identify as a man. I was born a man and will always be a man and that will never change.

Very true, , I am half and half but fall now to female, , I was born with female hormones my mother gave me by medicine she took (des) it's in my brain, when not with a female, the female comes out ❤love it to❤

The Emperor's Clothing ...written in the 1830's by Hans Christian Anderson reveals the fallacy of all of this. The king paraded around naked and all of his subjects except a boy pretended to like his imaginary clothing.

If I had a nickel for every gender I would have 2 nickels

People in the comments are experiencing whats know as "wrong think" they need to be re educated and we must change what they believe.

[dochics]

I had no pronouns, , doctor put she on my paper work..

Started off seeming reasonable, but then slipped in some judgement.

[binarytrekker]

No y’all just want your opinion to matter to people that don’t.

[dawnmaria]

At least we're not speaking german

[nicholaschristiaan]

This sounds like a cult - you all use the same expressions - be open to learning etc.

[thegentlymad]

All of this can be summed up as, "some times you feel like a nut, some times you don't".

[wendaltvedt]

But I'm not 'cisgender' I'm just normal.
