      The “the cis male urge to…” shit post has the premise that OP is a person who is comfortable imagining themselves in activities that most people would say are very transfem, realizing that fact, but still confidently asserting their cis maleness. The humor comes from the audience’s assumption that OP will very soon be identifying themselves as transfem. This is a form of dramatic irony; chat knows something that OP does not.

      Related shitpost types are “… still cis though”, which supposes that OP has done something irl that most people would interpret as being very trans, and “the straight urge to…”, in which the denied characteristic is that of queerness.

      Post titles on this board end in rule. Thus, “the cis male urge to be in a committed lesbian relationship rule”.

      One could interpret your post as a metajoke, where the premise is that OP is pretending to have “the cis male urge to … make it about himself”, in which case, well played comrade.
