fuck identity archtypes

gah! finally after a few weeks of digging through gender, trans gender, sex characteristics and other things a conversation in genderqueer heats up to the point where people are using some terms and talking some complexities that are sending me sideways through google searches to find out what they're talking about

Cissexual, in reference to a person, means that they identify and present as the gender they were assigned at birth. Cissexual privilege is often discussed in terms of never having questioned one's gender. It isn't quite the same as being gender normative as many trans people are gender normative feeling, acting and passing as strictly male or strictly female. Cissexual privilege is the difference between passing as male/female and never even considering the topic.

you have completely confused me. but then so does the concept. i'm still sort of wrangling with the idiocy of 'assigned at birth' and how wrong that can be, what with the legal system requiring a mark in the m or f colum now days.

identify and present
i get the identify as the gender assigned at birth, but present? would that mean someone with a m on their birth chart identifies as male and also 'uses the boys room', so to speak

yup

This sentence is still sort of hornswhagling my head. I think it's because i have a certain level of disregard for how my physical appearance strikes the majority of society. the clothes make the man/woman" for a lot of people, but for me they only follow where my head is at. perhaps I'll get it better once I have freed up my mind from the gender-shackles that were put on by the enculturation sheriff. I've been doing better now that I've been trying

I don't get all the crazy people out there.

Look. It's really simple. You either want to fuck no one, a guy, a girl, or either.
