When I do get it, I feel like playing dumb is the safer bet sometimes.

  • I think that’s the right interpretation, although I don’t think it has to be hyperfem/hypermasc. Could be something as basic as having long hair.

    No clue what CIS unconfirmed means tho.

      CIS unconfirmed

      thanks, appreciate the sanity check on that - I really struggled to understand the meme, lol

      Makes sense re not being hyperfem.

      I had a conservative colleague who at a lunch table once accidentally misgendered me early in my transition. I was wearing a full dress (honestly overdressed), and he turned to me after and said “sorry, ‘’‘she’‘’” in this heavily ironic fake-polite tone.

      I just smiled as if I appreciated his politeness 🙃

      I get it though, I look back at those photos and cringe at the man in the dress I see 🤢
