What are cis and trans alternate types of? I don’t think it’s “gender identity” because wouldn’t that just be man, woman or nonbinary regardless of whether they’re cis or trans? Cis/trans just being a qualifier?

If the answer is “I am cis” or “I am trans”, what is the question?

Edit: Someone came up with the term “gender congruity” and (after looking up the definition of “congruity”) I think this describes what I’m talking about perfectly.

    Sexing in humans isn’t phenotypic though. It is chromosomal.

      It’s both. Phenotyping sex is the common method of determining it because it’s really easy and it’s accurate enough in 99% of cases.

      Sexing through genotyping is 100% accurate, but it’s time consuming, comparatively expensive, and only relevant in a tiny handful of cases.

        Phenotype doesn’t determine sex. It’s a function of it. You literally agreed with me on this.

          I’m terribly sorry that I’ve had to dumb down my point so far for people to understand it that you now think it’s yours.

          Good day.

            If your point is that phenotype at all defines sex, you are objectively wrong. It is a function of sex. If your point is that phenotype is a reliable indicator of sexing in humans, you are also objectively wrong.

              I rest my case. I guess I can add wrong and objectively to the list of words you don’t know.

                See now you’re both wrong and a prick.
