The first criminal bathroom ban with a jail sentence has just taken effect overnight in Florida. Florida is now dangerous for transgender people to travel through, with arrests likely in coming days.
Hm, maybe I was misunderstanding the meaning of “cis”. Biological sex means to me the actual chromosomes, which don’t change in trans people (at least until there is some genetic therapy available). I’ll go with the Wikipedia’s suggested “sex assigned at birth”, but I don’t feel like any of these fully transmits what I wanted to say. Interesting.
Pre-op trans people are still trans, not cis. It’s not the plumbing that makes the gender.
I meant it in the sense that cis gender gets assigned based on the plumbing. What would be a better way of expressing that?
A better way to articulate that would be something along the lines of “gender assigned at birth” or “biological sex”.
