most cis people don't introspect and come to an understanding about themselves and attach to the category label
in his mind he's not cis, he's "normal".
i'm a white american and i've disincorporated those characteristics from my identity but my politics don't change my skin color or give me a pile of money to renounce citizenship.
I think you will always be those things, but that doesn't mean you have to support them. American culture will always shape the way you view the world, and having been raised white will always have an impact on how your life goes. There isn't anything you need to do to be american, it's more about what happened to you. Gender is a performance, so it is actually something you can choose how to do.

i generally agree but i could definitely be performatively white and performatively yankee, and not just on holidays or in sports stadiums.
