I'm agender, and I see a lot of TERF rhetoric that feels very intuitive to me.

These people are so god damn tiring. 'TERF' rhetoric is intuitive because it makes sense not because 'TERFs' have male/nonbinary souls and are in the closet.

I see what a few of them are getting at though. I think what they're not realizing is that most cis people would be (by their standards) agender/nonbinary (or whatever they want to call it) "on the inside." It's one reason why pretty much everyone wonders, "But what do you mean you didn't feel like a man/woman, and instead felt like the opposite?" when they first learn about trans stuff. It almost seems (to me) like being "cis" often = being mystified by the idea of feeling some sort of innate gendery-ness.

Exactly. That's what annoys me about them. They think all 'cis' people just 'know' from birth their gender feelings. They think we're just skipping along 100% happy 100% of the time with our societal gender box. Most of them don't pull their heads out of their asses long enough to realize almost no one has a 'gender identity'. That doesn't make everyone trans.

That's a good way of putting it.

They do think non-trans people are a lot more satisfied than we actually are, don't they?
