Frequently used terms
So I throw around a lot of words on here, so here’s a list of words that you might not know and their definitions. It’ll get updated as I go along.
Gender terminology:
sex: “what’s between your legs.” The parts a person has. They can be a penis, a vagina, or something else.
gender/gender identity: “what’s between your ears.” What a person feels they are.
cis female, cis male: someone whose gender identity and sex match. “Cis” means “on the same side as” in Latin, and it’s the opposite of “trans.”
trans female, trans male: someone whose gender identity is different from their designated gender. A person who identifies as male but was not designated male at birth is a trans man.
