Description: A three panel comic. In the first picture a caption says "As a cis person, you have to try really hard to be your assigned gender." A smiling stick figure responds with "OK." In the second picture a caption says "As a trans person, you have to try really hard to be your true gender." The same smiling stick figure responds with "OK." once more. In the last picture the caption says "What if you let go instead?" The stick figure stares with eyes wide open.

In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people’s identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Honestly, I've been anxious about this for a while, not sure if or how to bring this up. I understand the importance of the rule when it involves real people. But I've been seeing comics and memes getting criticized of breaking the Directive a couple of times now. But aren't they just being shared from the creator's perspective? Making fun of their own experience, such as, looking back, pointing out how obvious things seemed? When you see any other comic making fun of some situation, that doesn't mean that a
