People have problems with the term cisgender? That's... I don't know what that is. Quite an impressive knapsack, I guess.

I tried on clothes in the store and didn't have to worry that someone was going to consider me weird or dangerous, or an appropriate target for violence.

When people give me second looks in the bathroom, I don't have to wonder whether I'm "passing" because it doesn't matter.

When someone calls me "sir" by mistake I know they're not trying to make a point.

And my experience is considered so normal that some people think it doesn't exist.

But transgender people can have these experiences too. What you're describing is simply the opposite of transgender experiences.

(puzzled look) You think that transgender people don't have to worry about being considered weird or dangerous or an appropriate target for violence?

That's great! Where do you live?

I think some of them don't.
