continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Maybe this is out of topic, but are there really lots of trans people who after transition identify as cis?

I myself am trans and I do know trans people who rarely use the trans prefix when talking about their gender and some of them leave the community entirely after transitioning, but I've never heard any of them to identify as cis. I mean, you can feel that the word trans doesn't describe you anymore without saying you're cis. Even cis people rarely use the word cis to describe themselves, so I find it a bit curious if post-transition people actively go around calling themselves cis.

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that they "actively go around calling themselves cis". The occurrences I was referring to all took place within trans circles, while having discussions with trans people. Outside of those circles, they don't refer to themselves as neither cis nor trans, as there's no need for it.

This is only my personal experience, though. Maybe other people have seen different things.
