Please note I’m typing this as a trans man. Being “cis” or “trans” stems from someone’s gender.

Basically, do you identify as your birth gender (not sex, gender and sex are different)? If the answer is yes, you are “cis”. If the answer is no, like I my case, I was born female, I identify as a male, then you are are trans.

I hope this answers your question.

Shouldn't it be that you identify with your birth sex? If gender is a social construct you don't have a gender at birth. When the doctor says "It's a boy" they're referring to the genitalia you have, not assigning you a social position.

Sex is also a social construct btw.

No it's not. Unless you're suggesting you collectively thought my dick into existence.

Genitals aren't sex though. They are part of what society uses to create the category of sex. But sex is no more real than gender or race.

Society does not create sex. Society creates gender. Gender is a social construct. Sex is an expression of your sex chromosomes. The genitalia you have at birth weren't decided upon arbitrarily by everyone in the room, they're a direct consequence of whether you have or lack a y chromosome.

Money is a social construct. That doesn't mean coins and dollar bills don't exist. Sex is made up by society. Genitals are a physical thing. But they're not the same thing. Just like coins and money are not the same thing.

You're confusing sex and gender. Sex is a function of biology. It is binary. There are two sexes, and which sex you are is wholly determined by presence or absence of a y chromosome.

Gender is a social construct.

This is the entire reason that the term transgender is used now instead of transsexual.

Sex is not binary, or intersex people wouldn't exist.

You can also have XY chromosomes and be assigned female at birth.

And transsexual as a term has not gone out of usage universally. It's got nothing to do with sex and gender both being socially created constructs. It's preferential, and some people still use it.

If sex is a social construct as you claim, you have an incredibly easy position to support. All you have to do is show me one verified example of a non-ectopic human male pregnancy. If you can do that, I will concede on all points and incorrectly say sex when I mean gender, just like you do, for the raider of my life.

That's how confident I am that you don't know anything about this topic.
