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.
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
