I’m cis and mostly straight. Definitely comfortable in my skin.

Recently though, I was thinking that if I was hotter/skinnier it would be fun to present as androgynous. Not that I need to affirm my true identity or whatever, but a kind of fun gender vacation.

I hope a program like this has a decent amount of oversight. Otherwise, what’s stopping me from moving to a place with this, claiming to be NB and spending $600-900/mo on a personal trainer, clothes and makeup?

The current discourse makes it very hard to differentiate gender dilettantes from the actually marginalized.
