As we transition we often hear things from cisgender (cis) people about our transitioning, reasons, reasons not to etc. This is a list that was compiled in comments to a post about this elsewhere. There is no single contributor, it is a group effort. Feel free to add your own suggestions to this list in the comments. Some of these are reasons that would be given to a cis person for them to transition and not be cis.
- Your parents will love you more.
- Spend more money on medical bills.
- Wouldn’t it be awesome to be a girl?
- You’d make a smokin’ hot dude!
- Remember how fun adolescence was? Well, guess what? You can do it all over again!
- You’ll feel better with boobs.
- You wouldn’t feel lonely if you had a pair of boobs to play with.
- How do you know you’re not a girl if you’ve never tired?
- Have you talked with a psychologist or psychiatrist for 2 yeas to know / prove that you are cis?
- Being cis is just a phase you’re going through.
- You’d be the best of both worlds!
- You just haven’t met the right dress yet.
- You’re cis? Thank heavens, I thought you were going to say you’re gay.
