All the ways people can be not cis
(Not really, there's too many to list in a single post)
Transgender:
When one's assigned gender at birth is different from one's actual gender.Ipsogender:
Intersex people who identify as their assigned gender at birth, but do not feel the term "cisgender" applies to them.Ultergender:
Intersex people who identify as a gender other than their assigned gender at birth, but do not feel the term "transgender" describes them due to being intersex. A "trans intersex" person.Cisn't:
An umbrella for anyone who isn't cisgender.Transn't:
An umbrella for anyone who isn't transgender.Isogender:
When you're not cis, but you don't identify as trans.Absgender:
Someone beyond, between or removed from cis/trans dichotomy.Centrgender:
An umbrella for anyone who isn't cisgender or transgender.Utrinquegender:
Someone who has aspects of both trans and cis experiences.Adgender:
When someone moves towards a particular gender expression. Includes trans people as well as people who are not trans but still transition.Demicisgender:
Identifying partially as your assigned gender/sex at birth, and partially not.Demitransgender:
Identifying partially, but not completely as transgender.As shown here, it's definately not a binary Even though some people think it is.
I made this because I wanted to educate people on the diversity of gender modalities and show that it's way more complicated than saying not-cis = trans like people often say. There's way more nuance to it.
Does anyone here think they may relate to any of these other labels? I relate and identify with Isogender personally.
No Agender?
You'd think we would be at the top of the list!
If I'd included identities in addition to gender modalities I probably would have.
