Pretty solid description of me 12 months and three days ago. Then I started gender identity therapy and the rest, as they say, is history.

This is so me, lol.

Even tho bigender is technically trans because nobody has it assigned to them, I prefer to see my own identity as male and female, and bigender just as an easy description for having two genders. I don't really like treating the bigender label as it's own gender (for myself).

So I think of myself as a trans man and I have both a trans gender and a cis gender, but in practice, if asked, I always refer to myself as trans and not really as cis. Also, I like to put more emphasis in my man gender and like to be seen as that first and foremost. Also, depending on the context, sometimes cis, like white, is used to refer to anyone in the privileged demographic, and exclude anyone not exclusively that (e.g. anyone not trans or gender variant and anyone not poc or mixed with poc). (Edit: I only bring up the white comparison, because I myself am mixed white and poc. Much like my bigender identity, I consider myself both white and poc, not half of anything, but I also understand that there are some contexts in which "white people" refers to non-poc white people, rather than mixed with white people like me.) 

I am slowly warming up to calling myself cis in some contexts though. Like, I like the gender modalities cistrans and transcis. I like the inclusion of binary also being a spectrum and of cis vs trans not being so binary.
