    I apologize if this is offensive but I'm curious. If a straight CIS man that knows you are a trans woman compliments you on your breasts, how would that make you feel?

      first, cis isn't an acronym and it's not in all caps

      second, this is a joke. please do not comment on people's tits unless you're close to them

      definitely never actually do this. this community is essentially for trans shitposting. as a general rule I wouldn't try to use it to learn the ropes

      e: sorry if this came off as harsh btw, i only meant that you'd be better off trying to learn the basics in a space geared more towards education

        i'm not necessarily against cis people asking questions if it's relevant to the post, but this definitely should not be where they come for advice

          yeah i probably should have made that more explicit, i only meant that I wouldn't lurk here to try to get a baseline understanding of trans shit, which (genuinely no offense intended) seems like the level they're at.

          hopefully i didn't come off as unnecessarily discouraging.

      Others have answered your question, but a note regarding the term cis: it's not an acronym, it's just the opposite of "trans". Like the Romans referred to "Cisalpine Gaul" and "Transalpine Gaul" to talk about the two sides of the Alps. So you aren't a CIS man, just a cis man, just as I'm a trans woman and not a TRANS woman.

      /j I would appreciate it only if he gives me a video call and says while loudly chewing, "Beautiful tits. And rack. Love it. See ya." — before immediately hanging up. You get the boob compliment pass if you can be funny about it.

      /srs Kinda gross and objectifying. Like, I'd immediately assume chaser and keep my distance. Not good vibes.

      The joke here is just about cultivating it vs. being handed it, the notetaker in the joke is supposed to be some kind of very creative idiot
