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.

    Sex is not binary, or intersex people wouldn’t exist.

    You can also have XY chromosomes and be assigned female at birth.

    And transsexual as a term has not gone out of usage universally. It’s got nothing to do with sex and gender both being socially created constructs. It’s preferential, and some people still use it.

      If sex is a social construct as you claim, you have an incredibly easy position to support. All you have to do is show me one verified example of a non-ectopic human male pregnancy. If you can do that, I will concede on all points and incorrectly say sex when I mean gender, just like you do, for the remaider of my life.

      That’s how confident I am that you don’t know anything about this topic.

        Why? This definitely begging the question (yes the correct usage). Why do you just assume that’s the criteria? Does that mean someone with XX chromosomes and all the necessary anatomy, who for whatever reason is infertile, is a male?

          It’s the perfect criterion to prove me wrong. If sex truly is a social construct, then at some point in history, a male would have become pregnant.

          You’re also falling victim to the fallacy that because B follows A, A must also follow B. That is not true. At no point have I said that a female who is infertile is a male. That’s just straight up shit reasoning on your part. What I said, and people have repeatedly refused to listen to because they dont like the truth, is that the presence or absence of a y chromosome is what defines sex.

        What are you even talking about? Whether someone can conceive or not has nothing to do with the socially constructed concept of sex. Or we would simply refer to someone’s uterus or testicles when talking about them. Male and female are constructed concepts. We would call someone a person with a uterus, or a person with testicles if we wanted to talk about those things. That is not what sex is.

        You have literally no idea what socially constructed even means do you?

          This is deliciously ironic coming from the person who continuously misuses it.

          Sex is a biological characteristic. It is not a social construct. You mean gender when you say sex, you just know so little about the topic that you don’t even understand how you’re wrong.
