You can’t choose to identify as the cis version of your opposite sex.

That’s literally why we have the term cis, to differentiate from those who keep their assigned gender from those who do not.

Maybe I don’t know what a transgendered male is, but I thought it was someone who was born female then transitioned to male.

That would mean that identifying as a cis male does not make sense because cis is for people who keep their assigned gender at birth.

I appreciate y’all on Lemmy. I almost went along with the Reddit programming of ruining jokes with /s but decided to test it.

It’s needed sometimes, but definitely not here.

It’s called a joke, bud.
