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.

    Cis and trans aren’t opposites.

    You can be both at the same time, or neither. A cis woman prints as a woman to observers; she night also be (or not be) trans.

      I never suggested they were opposites. Elsewhere in this thread I listed white, black and asian as examples of a person’s race.

      They’re literally opposites. They’re prefixes that mean the exact opposite thing from one another in exactly the same way that North and South mean opposite things.
