Cis Homosexual Male - Gender was very confusing to me to think about because I just...didn't. It wasn't until some people around me started coming out as trans that I started to examine it and at least try to understand it. I think the perspective I have is at least a little useful because long before I asked, 'how do you understand yourself as transgender', I was asked, 'how do you know you are gay'. My dismissive snappy answer was always, 'Well, how do you know you are straight?', but that has a element to it that I think I carry forward with gender: It's their Lived Experience™. My lived Experience is very gay, and very cis. By examining the former, I came to be a better understanding of the latter (I think anyway). But regardless, I don't really ask the question 'how do you know you are trans' -- I just understand it as their Lived Experience and I can respect that.
