minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-8•8 months agoYou can’t choose to identify as the cis version of your opposite sex. That’s literally why we have the term cis, to differentiate from those who keep their assigned gender from those who do not.

That would mean that identifying as a cis male does not make sense because cis is for people who keep their assigned gender at birth.
