What do you mean? What’s cis?

Sure, I’ll play along, I love educating people that need it :)

“Cis is short for cisgender, which refers to when a person’s gender identity corresponds to their sex as assigned at birth. Cisgender is the opposite of transgender.”

Happy to help, but next time, maybe check the dictionary yourself. So, when did you start to believe that you aren’t trans?

I looked it up but still didn’t understand the question and TBH I’m still not sure if I’m answering the question probably or not but I’ll try my best, since as far as I can remember/I never questioned whether I’m cis or trans, in other words, I’m x and never questioned if I’m x or not

If you never questioned, you are then most likely cis. But trans people start questioning it at like 5 or 6 years old. A lot will not find the answer before a long time. Me, I hated my body, hate when people said how much a handsome man I was, I was questioning myself but only find the answer at 16 that I was in fact a trans girl. The vast majority of people are cis so they never question their gender, simply they don’t need to do that

Some people don’t even know until they’re adults, so the question is dumb AF. Not everyone realizes or thinks theyre trans at 11.
