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.

    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”?
