Also an ally here. I think the joke is that they already transitioned and still don’t admit to themselves that they aren’t cis. Since gender is performative, experimenting is already being a different gender for a while in a way and you can admit that to yourself. That’s my interpretation as a tired ally (tired as in it’s late and I might not be thinking perfectly anymore)
The joke is using twisted logic to avoid identifying as trans. As I understand it, cis/trans usually refers to same/different identified gender vs that assigned at birth. Instead, we’re saying “well I’m a girl now, which matches what I wanted, no need to call myself trans”
Can someone explain part 3? I’m an ally, just don’t understand the terminology. Is the joke that there was no transition, only experimentation?

Better than I could put it, thanks!

Does that help? I’m very new to this myself…
