minus-squareTheGIGAcapitalist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up55arrow-down4·1 year ago Because Max identifies as a transgender male, he could no longer be cast as the male lead. I feel like the easy solution is to identify as a cis male… It is concerning (but unsurprising) how obsessed conservatives are with childrens genitals.
minus-squareinterceder270@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down12·1 year agoYou can’t choose to identify as the cis version of your opposite sex. That’s literally why we have the term cis, to differentiate from those who keep their assigned gender from those who do not.
minus-squareinterceder270@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down9·edit-21 year agoMaybe I don’t know what a transgendered male is, but I thought it was someone who was born female then transitioned to male. That would mean that identifying as a cis male does not make sense because cis is for people who keep their assigned gender at birth.
