But isn't that just a normal female?
I know it can be hard to get your head around sometimes. Especially if it's your first time hearing all these words. c: Cisgender is basically the opposite of transgender. It's kinda hard to explain, but here's a good website. *click here* Hope that's a good start for you.
 
I still don't understand that cisgender one.
To me it just feels like people are making up more random words for no reason at all
 
Of course it doesn't mean that there is a guarantee anything is going to change, but they still are required to look at it, I mean at least people care and are making an effort.
But I'm curious as to why this would hurt amab nonbinary people and nonbinary poc?

read this and this

But isn't that just a normal female?

i know you're new to this stuff but thats a very hurtful thing to say. trans women are normal girls too.

ill go through some terms that you might hear in the future

cisgender means that you identify with the gender you were assigned with at birth. ex - my mom was assigned a girl at birth. she still identifies as a girl. she is a cis woman.
transgender means that you don't identify with the gender you were assigned at birth. i was assigned girl at birth, but i don't identify as a girl. i am trans because i identify as nonbinary. (genderqueer to be exact)
nonbinary is an umbrella term for people who don't identify within the gender binary. (the gender binary is man and woman). there's agender, genderfluid, genderqueer etc. they're all different.

AMAB/DMAB = assigned male at birth/designated male at birth
AFAB/DFAB= assigned female at birth/designated female at birth
AMAB and DMAB mean the same thing and so does AFAB and DFAB.

anything else you're still confused about?

I'm pansexual and bigender- which fits under the trans label. I'm also polyamorous.
Nice to meet you all~

welcome! ive been questioning a bit if i was polyamorous earlier and im still unsure x_x

cisgender isn't made up. cisgender is basically people who aren't trans...

What, so cisgender is anyone that isn't transgender?
And I wasn't meaning to be offensive, everyone that's a person is a normal person

i know you didn't mean to be offensive but it sounded like you were saying cis girls are normal girls, and that trans women aren't. or that trans women are different from normal girls. idk i might be looking a bit too much into this

and yes cisgender is anyone that isn't trans. you're cis if you're not trans. cisgender is anyone who identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth

Yeah exactly. I wasn't meaning to say that at all
 
Deciding a middle name SUCKS.
I think i'm going to let my mum choose though ^^ as long as she doesnt pick something like Maude or Agnes it will be fine

my middle name is kinda embarrassing :< but i dont really wanna change it.
agnes is a pretty name though!
 
Noo Agnes makes me think of some decrepid person in a retirement home lol
its as bad as; Maude, Mavis etc :p

i think agnes is a cute name. but that might be because im playing a game with the main characters name as agnes haha

maude and mavis sounds old though
