Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.

[The Is This a Pigeon? meme template with the words “MY CLUELESS ASS” over the character’s head, the words “OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DYSPHORIA” below the butterfly and captioned with the words “IS THIS A CIS FEELING?”]
Feelings are confusing okay
Very confusing lol.
Pleading and praying to god as an agnostic kid, begging to wake up as a girl. Rushing to the bathroom mirror in the morning and being heart broken when nothing changed. “Yup, these are cis thoughts that everybody has.”
Yeah, according to all the cis guys I’ve asked since I finally had the courage to face my transition, they are definitely not. They would not push a button or drink a potion to be a woman. “What? No, why would I ever want to do that? That sounds awful.”

I'm still constantly surprised other cis people don't have these thoughts
Not even to try it out?
Big true. I was telling some rando in Overwatch that I liked wearing my mask/apron at work during the pandemic because customers constantly mistook me for a woman, and that gave me a lot of confidence.
She said "but... you're cis? I don't know any cis people that say things like that." And then my whole worldview shattered, and everything made so much more sense🫠
Worst time ever asking other guys if they ever wondered what pregnancy must feel like. High school was always awkward, but this made it awkwarder
Me except it's mostly species dysphoria instead of gender dysphoria.
