Bodily, we are AFAB. However, my source is a cis guy. Technically, I guess that would make me a trans man but it never felt like I “transitioned” and it feels like I was always a guy.

    I don’t think cis/trans is necessarily an identity inherently. It’s sort of an emergent property of the interaction between your body and your gender. Some people specifically identify with the label, but I think a lot of people identify as their gender first and are just cis/trans because their sex either does or doesn’t line up with their identity.

    When you’re fronting, you could be considered trans because you’re a guy in an AFAB body. That’s all it takes. In headspace, you could be cis or trans or neither, because the dichotomy isn’t really as relevant there.
