I understood what you were conveying, though it doesn’t quite “land” as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language. But it does work, and by the upvotes it looks like quite a few people understood what you meant.
Also, thank you for teaching me about the CIS area. I had to look that up, but as a geography nerd I’m surprised I haven’t heard that phrase before. I’ve mostly heard people state their specific country, or older folks saying, “I’m from the USSR.”

Nono, it’s definitely a thing in English. Used to be the dropdown options on some dating sites. Or so I gather.
Perhaps fittingly, I thought they were clarifying that the population of their area was predominantly cisgendered.
In contrast to Transylvania, of course.
ah yes, the land of vampires, the original programmers, who sat in the dark and shunned the light. of course they’d have a lot of transfems
Sounds like a ptbr only thing, then
