I didn't even know the prefix 'cis' when I first had truck with pagans, so I never had a decent handle to explain what left me a little... not off-balance. But feeling a twinge of wrong in things, if that makes sense. Not until, that is, chatting online with a gay pagan who complained that he and his boyfriend were complete opposites (personality-wise), but noooo, their local coven was insistent that the two parts had to be played by opposites, y'know, not having the same number of legs, so to speak. Which seemed to me to be completely idiotic, but I didn't yet have the tools for articulating why.
Now I do, and I have even less interest in listening to some of that world's rationalizations. But then, I also feel like I left them behind a long time ago -- in, I'm seeing now, even more ways than I'd realized when I first walked out.
