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.

    The idea that gatekeeping is bad in any and all cases seems rather flawed.

      You think gatekeeping people’s identities and telling them they aren’t valid is okay? I can’t think of one circumstance where this shit is okay. This just seems like average gatekeeping transmed apologia. It’s not your place to tell others they aren’t valid.
      Your apologia isn’t accepted here, and isn’t going to be, the removal of your other comments proves that.
