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.

    Simply, a cis person identifies with the gender they were born with. You were born a man and identify as a man, a cis man. A trans person identifies themself with a gender different than what they were born with. You were born male but identify as female, a trans woman.
