    If this is a joke, I don’t get it. A lot of people don’t really care much about what their gender is

      The joke is that the “egg” is under the impression that they are cis and that every cis male must have those same feelings.

        So much this.

        It is the very definition of being cis to not understand wanting to be a different gender than the one being assigned at birth. People who are uncomfortable with their assigned gender are not cis.

        But many need a while to realize that other people do not feel the way they do.

        Depends on what grapple means. Very few want to be a different gender than they were born, but practically everybody has been told to behave differently because “boys do X” or “girls do Y”. People just want to do whatever their interests predispose them to do or express themselves in some specific way that society often deems wrong. So yeah I haven’t ever really “wanted to be a girl” ever but a million times I wish people would leave me the fuck alone when they think I’m not being a man correctly.

        Most cis people are cis people. Like, that’s the definition of it, right?
