people need to play around more with the fact cis / trans aren't the only options, AND the fact that cis / trans can be applied to anything the user deems fits. both can co exist.
someone can feel neither cis or trans works, there's labels like isogender that exist; iso man, iso woman, isofem etc. there's also options to simply not add a modifier in general. feel like a woman but cis, trans, and iso doesn't fit well? that's fine! you can exist as only a label with nothing more defining. it isn't cruel or evil of you.
feel agender? nonbinary? genderfluid? or a different label but feel it isn't cis or trans? doesn't have to be! just because a label differs from the random little term you were assigned with at birth, it doesn't mean you have to use the word trans, it's okay. you aren't hurting others. sometimes it just doesn't feel that way. you aren't betraying trans people but not preferring the term.
at the same time though, labels that differ from the random term you were assigned with at birth can feel cis. you can be cisneu, cisnull you can feel your nonbinary identity is cis or your bigender identity is cis. that's an option too.
and while people can have no modifiers, people can also be multiple! do you feel like your masculinity is cis but your enbyhood isn't? that's an option. or feel your femininity is trans but your boyhood isn't? that's an option! cistrans/tris is a helpful label for many.
people need to be allowed to feel like they have a choice. freedom to explore things, test out terms, try labels, etc. it can lead to someone finding themselves, finding something that makes them the most happy. it can also lead to nowhere, it can lead to them going "ya my original label was right". but what's important is they had the option to try something different if they wanted to.
exploring these things is why im so happy with myself currently, and why my headmates are happy with the labels it& uses
