Inspired by a conversation on Discord:
Let's say you're cis. Not trans at all!
You do know you're still allowed to experiment with your name, outfit, makeup (or lack thereof), your pronouns, whatever you want? Right?
You're a guy with she/her pronouns or a gal with he/him pronouns? That's fine. You want to wear a skirt? You want to eat barbed wire instead of cereal?*.
You're allowed. You can still be cis after all this.
I've met too many people who wanted to explore themselves, but hesitated because they thought they weren't "allowed" that.
If you read this and have impostor syndrome about gender expression? You're not trespassing. You don't have to be "a real trans person" to do anything you want. You have this trans gal's permission.
The Secret Trans Council has spoken through me. We won't send cat-eared assassins after you (unless you ask nicely).
You're seriously not hurting anyone. And don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
And of course, if you're reading these words and they seem to suspiciously resonate with ya, my DMs are open.
*Do not actually eat barbed wire.
