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’m making a website. Drop-down 1 has options like [male, female, nonbinary] and goes into a column called “gender” in the database. Drop-down 2 has [cisgender, transgender, prefer not to say]. What is the name of the column for drop-down 2?”
