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 thought it was pretty obvious what you meant. Even the title alone was enough IMO. But I guess this is something most people don’t even consider. And even if they had put some thought into it. And a lot of transphobes don’t think women are women or men are men.
I’m a firm believer in having a wide enough vocabulary available to discuss issues.
Btw, if you want more opinions on the topic, threads talking about demographic survey design in trans communities have discussed this issue. Not sure how easy it would be to find threads that focus on it, but r/asktransgender has almost certainly had this topic come up occasionally.
