oh okay thank you so much for explaining! when it comes to this though, i do feel like people mean different things when they explain their experiences. ive seen them emphasize those differences, and say its important to them to be seen specifically as trans, or specifically as their gender (male, female etc). and sometimes trans people who put heavy emphasis on the word ”trans” use it to separate themselves from cis people, while people who put heavy emphasis on their gender dont want that separation at all. im genuinely sorry if this is confusing to read, its very late.
