^ Exactly what Andrew is saying. I dress and present as female and use female pronouns. And I am in a hetero marriage and have had a kid. Saying I don’t benefit from cis privilege and hetero privilege would be a lie. But what I have been wrestling with for the last while is the fact that I am NOT cisgender.
Because I was raised not knowing that you could be something besides cismale or cisfemale, I didn’t have any language to describe how I felt or figure out what I meant. And even now, when I have done several years of work around educating myself on gender theory and what it means in practice OUT THERE, how it applies to me and my own life? Fuck if I know. I’m still fumbling around in the dark, and the only thing I know for certain is that I’m not cisgender, I’m not transgender, and I’m not agender.
Hence feeling queer-adjacent while still presenting as cisgender. But, you know, that’s ground that’s covered by the comic.
