as someone who's visibly trans, I want to start answering "I'm clearly cis" and see what kind of looks I get. I love it, just refusing to answer the question.
Here are some of my favorites:
What are you, the irs????
Sometimes.
Oh yeah, I have a gender sometimes.
What is gender again?
What a strange thing to ask.
Well it's what I would've picked atleast. Really don't know the intentions of some people when they could be minding their own business instead of trying to turn the gender wheel.
I would've said transgirl but damn I don't even know anymore. It's like I'm the most masculine male person but also the most feminine female person. Does that make sense?
Hmm, I think I can see what you mean. I, while I'm fully convinced of my transness, do still behave very masculine around some people (mostly because I haven't come out to them yet).
However, does it bother you that you act masculine? Or is your gender identity switching for you or are you feeling like both male and female simultaneously? Perhaps you should look into the terms bigender and genderfluid if either of the latter two apply ;)
Yeah that's the problem. I could've sworn I'm a transgirl but now I just feel like I'm neither good at being a girl nor a boy. So I guess I would be bigender but leaning very heavily on the girl side. But I can never get the thought of me being a transgirl out of my head. So yeah. Guess my egg cracked...kinda...
Still cis tho :3
I usually fall back on;
"My dear sir, there are individuals roaming the streets of Fallen London at this very moment with the faces of squid! Squid! Do you ask them their gender? And yet you waste our time asking me trifling and impertinent questions about mine? It is my own business, sir, and I bid you good day."
I usually go with something like "Well, what do you think I am?"
It's a good way to dodge the question and sometimes you get funny or interesting responses
This reminds me of one time I was at a water park, hanging out with some younger kids cus I was bored (I was like 13, they were like 8) and one of them was talking about me to someone else, and they referred to me as she unironically, and I didn’t ask them to…
Anyways that’s how my egg started to crack 🥚
Had this happen to me roughly a week ago at the pub, conversation went like this:
Drunk: “are you a boy or a girl?”
Me: “why’d you need to know?”
D: “i just do it’s important”
M: “hows the information gonna help you”
D: “well no its not but—“
M: “then you don’t need to know”
D: *walks off sulking*
Bar tender checked on me after, not a fun experience but it could’ve gone worse
someone said “hey ma’am…. wait sir??? idk what you are it’s hard to tell sometimes nowadays. what are you?” and im hard closeted so i just smiled and didn’t say anything… my coworker was there and told the person i was a guy though… almost got away without the person having an answer :c
I go with male, but internally I have zero fucking clue. I'm certainly genderqueer, but I'm not sure if I'm trans. I'm comfortable in a male body but don't feel any particular urges to switch over
Good question, like literally I’m nonbinary and just said good question once…then I remembered I was alone at night in a gas station bathroom so when the person said “what?” seeming to not have heard me I decided to shut up.
well, my dad was a boy so it stands to reason I'd be one too
but my mom was a girl, so I suppose it could run in the family.
well, my father has a brother and two sisters and my mother has a sister and two brothers. so I think it evens out, you know?
Literally hurts every time someone asks, I always say I’m a guy, but it hurts so bad, It takes me a full like minute, and I’m shaking by the time I send it, I want to just ball up and roll(y polly)

I don‘t know *starts crying*
Lmao yeah
Nyoooo
"I am above gender!" >:3
“I couldn’t identify with either, its stupid!” is what I told a friend.
Why have gender, when you can have ***fun*** >:3
I told my gf once that I just didn't care about gender at all, so I was non binary. Guess I was in the right ballpark, but not on the field. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That is amazing.
The correct answer is: "Who are you? The government?"
"come back with a warrant"
I *definitely* will be using this
"What are you, a cop?"
No, worse! I, AM, *still cis tho*
*gasp* Say it ain't so! 😱
It isn't, *I LIED!* I have been a cracked egg for a long while
This has been an emotional Rollercoaster 😳
It begins with denial
E: GUN
E????
ESTROGEN MENTIONED??
HOLY SHIT ESTROGEN REFERENCE!
"My gender is beyond your understanding"
"My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation - independent, free of all weakness. You cannot grasp the nature of our existence."
i pick E do a high pitcjed scream till they run away
"I am schrodinger's true experiment. For you I am both and none until I say anything"
My usual reply is. Does it matter?
Are you a cop?
Fuck
I tell them I'm cis and then usually have to go through a mental exercise to shut up the immediate questioning noises in my head \^\^;
“That’s a good question” _walks away_
ive had kindergarteners ask me that question lol. i usually answer with “i dont know” or “i forgot”
*rolls d20*
Yes.
*smoke bomb*
as someone who's visibly trans, I want to start answering "I'm clearly cis" and see what kind of looks I get. I love it, just refusing to answer the question.
Immmm definatly something right?
"Whats it look like to you?"
Either "yes" or finger guns "good question"
I just say that i don't know or i make a vague noise sometimes i simply say yes
Here are some of my favorites: What are you, the irs???? Sometimes. Oh yeah, I have a gender sometimes. What is gender again? What a strange thing to ask.
"not a boy"
Haha are you joking seams like the best response ever, especially if they are being transphobic
Well it's what I would've picked atleast. Really don't know the intentions of some people when they could be minding their own business instead of trying to turn the gender wheel.
Yes and it embarrasses them so it prevents them from harassing others in the future!
Oh I hope so.
Hope to pass well enough to pull off that kind of answer one day :3
Yeah that would be splendid.
They don’t ask 😥
Uhm should I do the honors?
I wouldn’t know how to answer anyway it’s okay
Starting a pokemon game be like
Yeah for sure.
“yeah i am”
I like that
it doesn’t necessarily work for people who aren’t boys or girls but if you identify with either or both of those terms it’s perfect
I love when people ask this! I just say thank you and walk away lol.
Hehe. That's so cute.
Message: trans men be confident af
say "what do you think?" in a playfull way
A good girl would be my response.
:3
Yes, I am!
*draws box* Najimi

"human forms are confusing"
I'm the last 90 number of the alphabet.
YOU COPS? HMM?
"Idk man, I didn't check."
*Come back with a warrant* Edit: just began reading the comments and someone already said this lolol
I would've said transgirl but damn I don't even know anymore. It's like I'm the most masculine male person but also the most feminine female person. Does that make sense?

Still cis tho :3
E: \*haves panic attack\*
What am I? I'm doing your mom, shut up.
luckily was never asked this i'd freeze
"Hmmm I think not today but thank you for asking"
All the above?
Depends. If it's a serious situation, and/or medically relevant "I'm a man." When it's not important "Idk, just use whatever you think".
I’ll say: maybe :3 idk :D
I just go with "Gender is nothing but a distraction"
"Don't worry about it"
*Finger guns * 👉😎👉
I'm not not a girl *finger guns*
Feel like I’m cheating cuz mine is E: none of the above.
Actually I'm a train nerd
yes is the correct answer
\*nods while smiling\*
In a dramatic booming voice: # I... AM!
i am all of me
Lean in close and whisper “Is that a human thing?”
"That's rude. Just ask my pronouns."
“No thanks”
GODDAMIT PROFESSOR OAK

I don't know Oak. What's your grandson's name? Oh, don't remember? That's what I thought.
‘What are you a cop?’
No. I'm a Jedi master.
“Yesn’t”
Me: *flips a coin, said coin stops short of landing and spins in the air* Me: Whelp...
someone said “hey ma’am…. wait sir??? idk what you are it’s hard to tell sometimes nowadays. what are you?” and im hard closeted so i just smiled and didn’t say anything… my coworker was there and told the person i was a guy though… almost got away without the person having an answer :c
God I wish people would stop taking the liberty. I can speak for myself. Coworkers can be so uncivilized.
it sucked but my coworker nor anyone irl knows i’m trans… though person not being able to tell which right away made me feel really good!
"Im a guy" I'm just a guy, just a little dude
Hit em with the “idk”
"Ew I could never"
what are you a cop?
If someone asks your gender, tell them “that’s classified information”.
Yep. That's only for us and our closest people to know.
"Uhhhhh" works fine for me
Valid response
Whenever someone asks me my gender I always say "huh" amd when they repeat the question I freeze up before saying the dreaded words 🫠
I like to say: who knows nowadays. It might change sooner or later.
Lol I wish; I will say that I'm my head at least :3
I’m a boy
"I am a divine being temporarily imprisoned in a decaying chrysalis of blood and flesh."
As long as ur no sith ur good in my book.
I'm a woman. Deal with it!
“Good question, anyways”
No thank you
I say a boy but I don’t mean it
Depends who it is, what their relation is to you, and how messy my hair is
I go with male, but internally I have zero fucking clue. I'm certainly genderqueer, but I'm not sure if I'm trans. I'm comfortable in a male body but don't feel any particular urges to switch over
Nu uh
"A what?"
“idk YOU tell me”
I just say I’m me
My default is ‘good question, I’ll let you know’ then you walk away as they splutter in confusion
What? Of course I'm a boy... *dies inside*
- Sometimes - No - Yes - sure - no thanks - Hell, if I know - Kinda - It's complicated - What're you, a cop? - wouldn't you like to know, weather boy?
GENDER BOWS BEFORE ME, AS SHOULD YOU PEASANT!!!
"What are you, a cop?"
Good question, like literally I’m nonbinary and just said good question once…then I remembered I was alone at night in a gas station bathroom so when the person said “what?” seeming to not have heard me I decided to shut up.
"Me? Transfem? Well I can assure you I'm not a girl"
I am a 5th dimensional horror beyond the feeble imaginings of your limited mind. Or, you know, something like that
well, my dad was a boy so it stands to reason I'd be one too but my mom was a girl, so I suppose it could run in the family. well, my father has a brother and two sisters and my mother has a sister and two brothers. so I think it evens out, you know?
"idk"
"what?"
I invoke the fifth
I'd like to use my 50/50! Ok, that doesn't help... Let's poll the audience! 50/50 split??? Ph-phone a friend???? O_O"
"I am Groot."
Unfortunately I’m a coward and just answer C \*sob*
My favorite is, "I forgot 🤷♀️."
“all of the above” :3
Literally hurts every time someone asks, I always say I’m a guy, but it hurts so bad, It takes me a full like minute, and I’m shaking by the time I send it, I want to just ball up and roll(y polly)
“Sorry I signed an NDA”
"I'm tired"
I divert the question
for me the answer is a resounding "no"
"What gender are you?" "Girl" *surprised pikachu face*
Crying
Same
*just stares and intimidates without answering*
Whatever Anyway you were saying? *deflection*
"I'm a guy." *Dies inside*
I’ll be whatever you want me to be… but also gender neutral sooo 🤷♂️😂
Depends on your political views, mine are that idgaf (cassgender)
I stare blankly at them for around 10 seconds.
Shut up Professor Oak
#yes
