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.
I certainly do, and so did many other people on r/Agender that I talked to. Isogender and Absgender seemed mild popular among people there, as well as Centrgender, at least at the time of asking. I haven't been on Reddit in a while and it's possible those people have moved on as well.
I didn't like that video honestly, wasn't one of lily's best moments in my opinion. Really just came across as trying to gatekeep identities and argue against people having more individualized identities, I've seen people using the same arguments about xenogenders and nonbinary people before.
Many of the arguments are also appeals to popularity, trying to dismiss their validity because they're less popular or claiming they aren't valid because "the only people talking about this are young kids on Tumblr" same bullshit arguments used against nonbinary identities in the earlier days.
