"Cis" and "trans" are different types of a person's.... what?
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.

Cis is the trans word for normal. They don't like calling normal people normal because it reminds them of what they are.
What happened to you that makes you want to be intentionally insulting to strangers on the internet, unprovoked?
Why are you so angry?
Calmer than you are, bro.
Lol ok buddy.
Do you feel pride in being 'normal'? It seems like a strangely boring thing to want to hold on to.
Who hurt you?
The truth hurt you.
Wich true? Your dogma?
There is only one, objective, binding truth, and your attempt to deny it is in vain.
how do you know
Please read Rule 7 & do not repeat this language. Thank you.
Dude! WTF!
You're a sad person if you truly believe yourself to be "normal". Go to another society or another culture and try and tell them that you're normal and they're not. You're only normal to the environment you grew up in. Everywhere else you're just a weirdo. And in your case, a bigoted asshole too.
"Normal" is a social construct that hardly anyone probably fits into. Most people have at least some major traits that diverge from the average.
The reason people dislike the use of "normal" is because it's usually used with the connotation that being outside of whatever is being described/considered as "normal" is bad, and describing a group as "abnormal" is usually meant as an insult and used to dehumanise.
I'm not ashamed of being trans regardless of whether it's """normal"" ^.^, and I don't think being whatever our society deems """normal""" is even desireable - though as I said before, most people are likely outside society's definition of a """normal""" personl in at least a couple categories.
