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.

    I really really love the way you phrased that. Just thought I would let you know. Bookmarking your comment as a discussion point for the future as well.

      Thank you. It’s a thought that has been rolling around in my head for some time and this was my attempt to put it in words.
