“Transgender for everybody”, but unironically. As in, spend some time deconstructing your gender and then actively choose what gender roles and expressions you actually do and don’t want to perform. Deconstruct your sexuality too. Deconstruct your religion. Deconstruct anything you were indoctrinated into so you can be authentically you

I did this myself, for a little while. I wondered if I was maybe some level of trans, given how I present myself.
In the end the thought experiment brought me back to "nah, I'm cis and comfortable in the clear femininity of my body, even if I dress boxy, keep my hair short and wear no make up".
I don't even consider myself butch, I just am. And that's fine.
Now I know trans people feel something in themselves that I don't, and I don't have to know how it feels to still fight for their rights.
