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.

How often do you, as a cis person, fantasize about being a different gender?

@taedryn Voted "show results" on both polls because neither's options describe my experiences.

Particularly when I was growing up, I frequently wished I was born a boy because I dealt with so much gendered shoehorning and pushback for not conforming.

As an adult, I have set up my life so I deal with this a lot less. I never wish I was a boy anymore, but when I deal with harassment and other gendered shit I definitely wish I was not perceived as a woman, because for many people "woman" is not "human being worthy of autonomy and respect."

I still downplay or outright hide my gender in many spaces, and I don't care what pronouns people use as a result, but this is not the same as wanting to be a different gender. I don't identify as trans or nonbinary, cis woman still feels closer to what I am, but I do see myself on the agender spectrum. 

edit: this post is clearly marked no boost and unlisted. If you boost it I will block you.

@ehashman @taedryn agender can count as non-binary, and trans is pretty much any deviation from the gender imposed on you at birth.
@chairgirlhands @taedryn I am aware. I don't identify as either. My gender is binary and it isn't different than the one assigned at birth, just less.
@ehashman @taedryn idk fam that sounds like part of it isn’t binary but you do you, not trying to invalidate.
