Coming soon at your workplace or educational facility: Dysphoria day! Where every cis person is forced to present in a way they don't agree with! Now cis people know what it's like! If you're cis on that day, you have to show up presenting as the opposite binary gender! You will be assigned a new name! You will be assigned new pronouns! You will revel in the misery for one day, just to see what trans people deal with for years of their lives, if not decades!

Advantages:

  • now cis people know how it feels

  • someone's egg is getting cracked lol

Disadvantages:

  • you can just call out

  • the extreme immorality and cruelty of it all please don't actually do this

    This was already a thing. It was called "gender bender day" at my high school in the late 2000s. It had been a high school tradition for many years. I thought many high schools did something like this. Cis men would dress as women and cis women would dress as men. It was phased out in the early 2010s because it upset the fundamentalist Christians who were also rallying against gay marriage at the time.

      Mia Mulder in one of her videos mentioned this being a thing at one of the schools she went to, in Sweden. It might've even been primary school for her? I cannot recall which video it was, but it was fairly early into the video, and her point was just that when she was young, that this was seen as a perfectly normal thing, then suddenly out of the blue it became controversial.
