I think I view myself as both cis and trans

Grrrreat question. I may have to change my vote to 'other', but I'm totally trans, so that's how I voted. But I present as male, for the time being. I still get called ma'am sometimes, teehee. ;D.. HRT, Transition, GRS, full time for years, but now not. And just starting HRT again. Its complicated.  :-\   I'm 62 now, sort of on a cusp. Checking out bra sizes again for the first time, don't know if I will be able to go back to full time. I would love to, but at what cost? [rhetorical question] Nobody really to talk to but my wife. We can openly discuss all aspects, but there are lines to cross, again, and barriers to break down, again. It hurts pretty bad sometimes.  :icon_cry: :icon_cry2:  Pretty alone. I screwed up pretty bad when I detransitioned. The alternative was worse. So, definitely 100% trans, just not all the time. That makes no sense

Nope, gotta change my vote. Some kind of blend. There, that's better

Probably NB. I can only think of myself as an individual.  I identify tons with women, always have.  But, I've also grown up as a guy and I think I've gotten pretty good at it.  It just feels like I'm pretty unique, which I suppose is a blessing.  ☝️[emoji120][emoji1276]

Since everyone treats me as a woman, I see myself as a woman, with no need for labels.

I was thinking about this after discussing how I feel with my better half.  I am clearly trans, I am transitioning with an intended goal of fitting simply in to the female population.  For that, I am able to function in either realm of the binary enough that I often do not think I actually am fitting in to said binary all that well right now.

She sees me as female.  I feel and act feminine.  I can present male or female well enough to pass in either way and so I am accepted by friends as non-binary right now and have a few close friends that have mentioned that I am fairly fluid still.  That is changing as life carries me forward.
