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.

    There are definitely terms you wouldn’t use, which shows that there are specific terms you would use.

      What? That’s not how that works. Some things can be “wrong” even if there’s not a single “right” thing

        That’s literally how that works. If some things are wrong, then that means there is a subset of everything that is correct. That’s denoted by the word “specific”.
