A sort of narrow conception of being "cis" seems especially unhelpful when really most people have always varied in the degree to which they identify with such roles and fulfill those social expectations, and in modern times these social expectations have already become so much less strongly enforced. How I look/dress/speak and what interests I have aren't defined by my gender and I don't see why those things should be connected in the first place - I'd never identify as anything other than a man simply because I don't think "man" means all that much on its own anyway, it's as good as any other label and colloquially the most useful in my experience.

Completely agree. Would you mind linking the thread? Awesome to see this sort of suggestion being shared on Reddit.

Also, thank you for sharing this post, it's an important topic. :)
