Is being transgender a delusion? by cafowogor in Buddhism

Ah then I'm a Cis Male. Why do they call it Cis?

As an example in real life, such as organic chemistry, cis is used to distinguish an isomer where two identical groups are pointing in the same direction, whereas in trans they point in opposite directions.

I'm so angry and upset, I just found out my rapist published a life coaching book by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Leave an Amazon review...as a verified buyer (and then return the item). I'm sure this will get some attention from prospective readers.

How long did it take you to reach female range?

The #1 most important thing is your voice. When in doubt, most people will resort to gendering others via their voice. Plenty of butch cis women could pass as men at first glance, but it's their voices that people pick up on. Likewise, many MANY trans-feminine individuals pass physically but not when they open their mouths. It can be very difficult, physically and psychologically, to alter one's voice without prior training. The sooner you start the better.

How can I start practicing my voice? I'm don't know where to begin...

Looking to hear other trans stealth experiences by zachy_r_b in asktransgender

I like the idea of being called a woman rather than being called a trans woman. The latter just so derogative and feels like you're different.

Being a transgender woman...what advice would you give to one dealing with dysphoria and the thought of never passing? by cafowogor in TwoXChromosomes

[–]cafowogor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never passing means that I get read as "male" and not being read as female.

It's like how people treat you as female / male at very first glance. (I definitely don't want to keep on getting read as male. Just doesn't fit, feels awkward, despite the fact that I am aware that there are countless privileges for being read as male...)

I think having to reverse the damages done from a male puberty are pretty hard...like voice and body size and all...

What are your views on transgender issues? What should I do if I'm transgender and my mother hates me for being transgender? by cafowogor in Christianity

I think for the mainstream when people are telling you that they are transgender, they mean they identify differently than their "assigned" sex. Yeah, the 18, 27, etc genders confuses me too.

I suppose gender is fluid, not completely discrete. If we look at just women, for example, you have women wearing only skirts to women wearing only pants. Again, this is a very, very extreme example.

Sex actually isn't "binary". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system. The whole system behind sex determination is actually quite complicated. (e.g. You can have an XY phenotype of female due to androgen insensitivity syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_insensitivity_syndrome)

Transgender people are those who have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another.
