(But then, obviously, the fact that I can't imagine it is because I'm cisgender to the core.)
Yeah, me too. I find it hard to wrap my head around it all.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What is cisgender? Zero on the Kinsey scale? I have no trouble with being a woman physically, but I sometimes wonder if my brain is more male than female.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
If i understandit right, cisgender means you don't feel that you are not the gender you were born as.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
cis= gender identity matches biological sex.

What is cisgender?
From chemistry, I think -- "trans" means "opposite" and "cis" means same side. I think in chemistry it's used for molecular structures.
Zero on the Kinsey scale?
Kinsey scale is the hetero-bi-homosexual continuum, which is separate from gender.

Right. Chemistry took it from Latin.

And even though they are often associated with each other, gender identity does not have to do with sexuality, right? (Does that even make sense? Good God. I've replaced Steph as The Most Vanilla.)

Aims, that's correct. I was just flipping through Wikipedia and discovered terms like androsexual and gynosexual, which leave your own gender out of the equation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there a scale for androgyny? What is the opposite of androgyny? Gendered?

So being content as a woman (though with grave reservations about the whole period thing) would be cisgender, and the approach to femininity and gender roles is something completely different?
