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:

Maybe?

I look cis and present cis and get all of the privilege of being cis most of the time but I think "man" is meh and I don't like it for myself really because most of the time other men are not anything like who I want to be or see myself as. If all the other men in the world were more like me and less like how they are I'd be totally cool with man. But since they kinda suck and I kinda don't want to suck I don't feel like a man. I don't see much of myself in most other men. Also if someone refers to me as a gender other than man or uses pronouns other than he/him I feel totally fine with it and kinda like it sometimes. Love being counted as one of the theys when all my theys count me as one of them but I don't really feel like a they that often either. So I dunno. I'm still trying to figure it out but have been for years and haven't figured it out yet.

So count that as you will. A weak maybe by some pretty loose definitions of trans but if that's not maybe enough I won't be hurt at all if you're like "oh one of those dudes" and mark me down as cis.
