    Cis people often do not think about gender so you find that people who are very well informed about gender can’t talk with the same amount of nuance as they do with other people who are very well informed about gender. You just have to simplify the concepts so that those who don’t know them yet can understand.

      Pardon me, I’m a cis brown male, I may be illinformed but should I be concerned about gender everytime I meet a new person. Or can I simply ask;

      How’s it going ?

      What do you do ?

      Rather than get to know someone through, what I thought was a rational method of approaching a fellow being - I have to think …am I at an “informed level of nuances about gender” to approach this person?

        Lol what? This meme is about discussing gender with different groups of people. What does meeting new people have to do with anything? Are you discussing gender with arbitrary people you just met for the first time? I would advise against that, other than maybe mentioning your pronouns when introducing yourself.
