morganoperandi easily explains from a cis-gender perspective how someone can be transgender and it makes perfect sense. It’s a really great post and a simple concept, but even if this doesn’t work for you it really doesn’t matter, you don’t have to understand someone to respect them and just let them live.

I think the confusion might be because more people are like me than most assume. I’m a cis-gender woman, but not because I feel somehow attached to being a woman. It’s more like I happen to fit the general description of a woman and I don’t see any point in struggling against it. If more people somehow reflexively referred to me as “he”, I wouldn’t feel weird or uncomfortable. If my brain was put on a robot, I’d probably be “they/them”, and wouldn’t care much if people referred to me as “he” or as “she” as I would be fine with either.
