"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.

There's actually a word for "Gender assigned at birth" and it's sex. Biological sex.
No, the gender assigned at birth does not always match the sex.

Ah yes. Intersex people. What's the percentage on that? 0.01%? Why bother catering to such a vanishingly small segment of the population with your language? For the vast vast majority of people sex is the "gender assigned at birth". It's the genetics definition.
Because people like you are using the language to exclude people and attack them. And if we're going to make laws and shit it has to be precise.
In what way are we "catering" to these people?
