Hey cis friends, have you ever fantasized about being a different gender? Any context: sex or cool clothes or whatever, no shame attached.

Some trans folks I've talked to think everyone questions their gender, but the few cis folks I've asked either say no, or only a tiny handful of times.

If none of these choices make sense for you, my DMs are open. (Edit: See also the secondary poll below, which has more options.)

Trans friends, please sit this one out, but please do boost for reach.

Follow-up (supplementary) poll, because now I'm feeling like my choices were a touch too presumptive: Same question, same audience, but maybe I missed the range I should have aimed for.

@taedryn I'm a bi cis man in my 40s. I answered several times per year, though it's hard to pin that down.

I have spent a lot of time wrestling with what my gender means to me. I've occasionally fantasized about having different genitals but I don't feel like "fantasize" is the right word for how I think about my gender. Maybe "imagine" is better. Either way, it comes and goes. Can go weeks feeling fine with being a man and then hate everything about masculinity for a while.
