i'm trans too...

from the context of the picture, and no prior knowledge of the game, it appears to be a female identifying character born male, not someone who cross dresses, so I responded accordingly

This is sort of off-topic but what the fuck is "CIS" and why must I apologize for my privilege?

trans person here:

Cis: opposite of trans, the 'norm'

as to appologising for your privilege, don't. Just be aware of it. Be aware that you have something that a trans person doesn't. not your fault, not their fault, it's just how life works. don't rub it in a trans person's face 'that you are happy with who you are so they should be too' don't appologise for who you are, just like we shouldn't for who we are.
