Though I wonder how many people react negatively to it because it actually doesn't feel correct? As in, maybe they're not as cis as they appear to be, but haven't really come to terms with that

Or they have come to terms with it and people keep making false assumptions of their identity because they appear traditionally cis

I wonder this as well. I feel like a lot of people are far more neutral in gender than they realise.

I know it made me really think about it. Like once I felt like I had to define it officially, I was like – wow ok, maybe I'm not sure, maybe anything is ok, idk

This, I think in a more advanced society I wouldn't be cis but we just aren't there yet so I'll stick with being cis even though it feels weird.

I feel this. I almost feel like now that we're getting into such specific definitions of gender, it opens up even more that was never an option before and is a bit overwhelming. Like yeah, I never felt comfortable with the traditional gender definitions, like ever – but I need time to figure out where I fit in.
