"are you trans or cis?" in order to properly understand my gender, you have to read all of dante's the divine comedy, play all of ultrakill, watch an hour and a half long video explaining the lore of ultrakill, play all of cruelty squad, and live in finland for at least one year. you can either do all that, or accept that there's something much more horrifying going on with my gender than "trans" or "cis"
