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 get this is a situation of I don’t understand and don’t need to understand, but some of these seem redundant. like Isogender and centrgender. Still neat little infographic.

I’m guessing since there’s no Central Gender Authority, there’s no standardization. People don’t fit into the labels available to them and make new ones, concurrently.

We don’t need labels to talk about our preferences, though?

Sure, but having words for things makes them easier to talk about

Yeah some are a little redundant, maybe because some are meant to be umbrella terms and others are meant to be more precise. Also because they were coined at different times and in different places, like how we have non-binary and genderqueer.

I consider myself gender anarchist.

Just fuck genders in general. Good luck trying to stick me to any gender.

Gender may be approximated with binary (64 bits on modern hardware, 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 possible values)

I only included gender modalities, I thought about including gender identities too but decided not too since the page was getting full and I knew people would just argue that those are trans and redundant. Maybe if I remake this I’ll add them though, along with Genderqueer, Non-Binary, Genderfluid, and many of the other common and less common ones.

You’d think we would be at the top of the list!

If I’d included identities in addition to gender modalities I probably would have.
