2 monthsI am far too polite for that. I’m the sort that stands off to the side of the sidewalk when a bunch of people are walking in the opposite direction, and in a line abreast, and I wait patiently for them to go past. I’m the kind of person that does a quick bow when someone holds the door for me. I’m the kind of person who takes as little space as possible, and tries to be mindful of the harmony needed for society to move along.

2 monthsJust one restroom. Stalls with urinals, stalls with toilets, floor to ceiling doors on all of them, and a communal sink area. Mox Boarding House has my perfect public restroom. Exactly like that.

2 monthsI didn’t grow up speaking English and only learned it in my teenage years. It makes me doubt whether my skills with three decades of English are proficient or not.
でも、時々英語は本当に分かりにくい。しょうがない、ね?

2 monthsNever mind, found a source that showed that sometimes cisgender people will write “CIS” in all capital letters to mean “comfortable in skin.”
Which is really weird, but it tracks.

2 monthsI understand the meaning of it when it’s written in lowercase. I mean, I’m trans. Came out a decade and a half ago.
When I see it written in all capital letters, it’s an acronym, and I have no idea what that acronym means.

2 monthsYeah, but my comment said that I understood that, but I was wondering when it became an acronym, and what does that acronym mean.

2 monthsBravery doesn’t mean much when I just wanna exist without the federal government throwing its full weight against me, while riling up lone wolves and poisoning any sort of discussion and thought process among the public.

2 monthsI do have a question though, when did cis become an acronym, and what does it stand for now? When I was learning English, I had learned that it was a Latin root, to imply “on the same side of”, like “cisisochemic” or “cisatlantic,” and is the opposite of trans, or “on the opposite side of.”
At some point in the last few years, I’ve been seeing it capitalized in places, and I wonder why the switch? Unfortunately, when I look it up, I get a mismatched set of AI slop results and generated pages that say nothing coherent.

2 monthsIn Oregon, today, in a performing theater of all places, as I entered the vestibule of the women’s restroom, some old lady said “are you sure this is the men’s room? Wanna go check the sign once again?”
So that fucked with my whole day.
I thought I looked good, looked stylish. 13 years of HRT is not enough apparently.
There’s pictures of me on my userinfo page.

2 monthsHonestly, as a trans woman that doesn’t pass, there’s fewer than ten states where I feel comfortable existing.


It’s always the ones I suspect the most.
