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.
Male, female or nonbinary are a person’s gender.
White, black, asian (nonexclusively) are a person’s race.
Right, left are a person’s handedness.
Gay, straight, bi are a person’s sexual orientation.
Cis, trans are a person’s ________.
Gender prefixes?
Cis and trans are like homo and hetero - they are a part of the English language.
You can have homogenized milk; you can have trans fats.
You can also have homosexual, transgender, cisgender and heterosexual animals.
We could call it “gender metadata” ;p
I’m not actually sure if there’s a real term for this. If nothing else, “trans status” works but there should be a better term I think ^.^
Maybe “genderdivergence”?
“gender identity” might fit. “Identity” taken literally, to mean if the birth sex/gender and the actual expressed gender are identical.
Edit: or “gender divergence” if you want to focus on the difference instead of the sameness.
