It genuinely boggles my mind how many cis people there are. Like you mean to tell me we all get assigned a social category at birth based on nothing but our sex characteristics and yet 99% of the population is like "hell yeah that doc was totally right."
I watched a documentary recently which featured some trans people in Oaxaca, Mexico called Muxe, which is a third gender in Zapotec culture. they mention how many openly Muxe are in one town there, and I did the math which came out to about 3.5% of the town's population. This is around more than double the percentage of trans people in the US, which leads me to believe that there are a lot more trans people than we, or even they, know. Femicide and (trans)misogyny are still rampant down there which is surely a deterrent for people to transition, but still they have a lot more openly trans people where they have a historic precedent that being trans fits into the sociocultural framework.
Makes me wonder how many people would be trans in a fully communist society
Interestingly Samoa has a transfemme third gender called FaΚ»afafine that is broadly accepted by most Samoans. That also makes up 3.5% of the AMAB population.
I think the anime dirty pair, where like 10% of the population are trans doesnβt sound too wild, if it was far enough in the future and there were examples and good access to gender affirming care.
Cisnormativity is a hell of a thing and must be abolished
50% of cis people are women so I get it
well when we manage to start moving in the right direction in terms of transgender liberation the numbers (of us) are gonna go up significantly. many repressors out there still, and folks who just don't know it's an option.
It's so strange to me, there have to be more people who want a to ditch, in whole or in part, their assigned gender at birth. 99% of the population is cis? I don't buy it
Like what if we all had our favorite color assigned at birth? It would be surprising if only 1% of the population said "eh honestly I think I like blue more"
What's the difference between that and "actually I don't belong to that social category, thank you very much."
No, it's not like that at all considering your entire social life is shaped by assignment and acceptance/rejection of sex. If colors were like that then they'd just be sex.
Literally indistinguishable from a caste system
I'm curious how many people would fall into a broad assigned-gender-nonconforming group. Like, some "cis" people are frequently "misgendered" and treated socially different than their AGAB and don't really identify with their AGAB but don't consider themsleves trans.
