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 like isogender! This is my first exposure to the term. I was assigned male at birth despite being born intersex, then forced into multiple masculinizing surgeries up to age 9, and I now identify as nonbinary.

Trans doesn't feel right, because technically I was born 'nonbinary', but I wasn't assigned that at birth so I'm also not technically cis.

Edit: I also really like cisn't lmao

This has a lot of labels, but why are agender, genderfluid and nonbinary missing?

I mainly included gender modalities and I didn't think to include individual identity labels until after I'd already filled it up and finalized the graphic. I didn't save project files since I did it in Pinta.

Okay, okay, but what about the cisheteromale that just enjoys chill chats with trans folks because it's always nice to talk to people with a viewpoint that has evolved along with both inner and outer pressures?
