    So, even if I don’t like it, I have to accept being called that? My preferences don’t matter?

      I know this may be a difficult concept for you, but here’s what you do:

      Someone calls you cisgendered.

      You say, “I don’t like being called cisgendered, call me _____.”

      That person agrees and calls you ______.

      -and that is all most trans people are asking of you too.
