Not trans, not cis. What am I?

[allaboutthecrisps]

This is a genuine thread. I will try and phrase this well and please only respond on topic. It's hardtm tobhave a respectful conversation about any gender identity topics atm but I feel it's important that we work towards that. So I've been trying to educate myself about gender identity issues. I have read around a little and explored some definitions and descriptors. I have come to the conclusion that I do not have a gender identity. This means I'm not cis as the definition of that relies on my gender identity matching my biological sex. I'm not trans as there's no sense of a mismatch either and whilst I hate my body that's not because of it's sexual characteristics. I could see a category of gender queer but that did not really talk to me either. This came up because I was completing some questionnaires which asked me to report my gender identity. If this is something we're going to be asked to do more often (and I think it is) its important to me to do this in a way which I can actually identify with. There will be people much more informed about these issues than me so can you advise what 'gender identity' someone without a gender identity can report. Ia it perhaps agender or are there other more helpful categories?

“If you are not trans, you are cis.”

No thanks - I’ll stick to the words male, female, men and women. They’ve been perfectly serviceable for thousands of years. Body dysmorphia should be treated appropriately. It does not need the rest of society to subscribe wholesale to the delusion.

@Ionlydomassiveones Not every trans person has body-dysmorphia. It sounds to me that you don't think trans women exist. Hello. Right here. Love my body now, feeling great, and still trans, not dysphoric. You don't get to decide that something exists in the English language, language evolves to describe new situations and people. Trans people exist, therefor cis people exist.

What's going on, in this website, is that Cis people are feeling victimized or attacked by having a label placed on them. Too bad this happens to anyone. People do it with race, ethnicity, etc. The cis label isn't a bad label to have. People just have a hard time accepting it because that means they have to accept that trans people are real.
