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.

    Basically, do you identify as your birth gender (not sex, gender and sex are different)?

    The additional explanation actually confused me. Let’s compare the two sentences:

    • A) Basically, do you identify as your birth gender?

    • B) Basically, do you identify as your birth sex?

    I assume biological sex can be identified by looking at your body as a new born baby, and gender is usually inferred accordingly. So I would assume new borns are being assigned a gender which mathes their biology, although they probably don’t have any opinions themselves on the topic.

    Anyways, what’s the difference between A and B? I feel you felt it was important to point it out, and I just can’t see any.

      Usually. But the reason the person you replied to made that distinction is because your assumption doesn’t hold 100% of the time
