Crossdressing is one of the most cis hobbies possible, because if it aligns with your gender then it’s not crossdressing.

No. Just as there is no action one can undertake that doesn't immediately and irrevocably give all potential partners the ick according to the internet, there is no possible activity you can participate in that doesn't come across as egg coded to someone.

it is true, I had a hobby once, now I'm a transgender, then I had another hobby that caused me to transition back to the one I started with, I've done this so many times that I actually forgot what I was at first

Cis people like football and complaining about minorities. Never seen em do anything else

Cis people are boring

The only socially approved cis male hobbies are Gun, Car, Sport, Guitar, and vidya games about the first 3 of these.

I can't speak for the cis female side because I wasn't socialized as one, though I suspect their number is more.

No~✨

If any existed, it would merely be a performance meant distract from the truth.

Everything is secretly transgender.

Funkopop collecting seems to be limited to cis people... With one exception who is on this site but shall not be called out here in order to spare her from further public shaming.

Side note: I wish more trans people were into comic books. More reading instead of collecting. I'd love to have other trans folks I could discuss comics with.

It’s probably just because more people are safer coming out as trans so the catalog of “indicators” is broadening to reflect that phenomenon. Also because they are all alive now they share the zeitgeist with everyone and are tapped in. I just think our pattern-recognizing human brains are looking for patterns, and some people like to use that for humor or something but I wouldn’t really dig much deeper than that

i kinda feel like most pure hobbies are regarded as eccentric, like we're all being pressured to either covert them into "side-hustles" or drop them for something that can be, or find something that is professional development oriented. like there's this pressure around disclosing a hobby to justify it if it's well outside of your "work life."

this opinion goes for hobbies that are outside the generally-approved gender-coded ones like regionally popular or seasonal sports, or ones that dovetail with professional networking and their affinity groups like golf-business or whatever is connected to the profession (i.e. outdoor education w/ rock climbing). there can be a social aspect to hobbies that i think invites some amount of pull into certain groupings, because maybe a group wants to invite more participants.

Going from my parasocial relationships with trans podcasters I think it's very funny when they badger people about being eggs so maybe theyre just messing with the cissies

What are the hobbies your trans friends have said this of?

Pretty much any sport, although american football is becoming more transgender.

Summarizing this thread: anything that isnt total nerd shit, but also some things that are total nerd shit.

I can’t say I’ve met many trans Magic: the Gathering players but also I haven’t been to a Magic event in years so maybe that’s changed now.
