    Yeah, but my comment said that I understood that, but I was wondering when it became an acronym, and what does that acronym mean.

      Trans is just the opposite of cis. Cis is someone comfortable in their AGAB and someone who is trans is not comfortable in thei AGAB.

        I understand the meaning of it when it’s written in lowercase. I mean, I’m trans. Came out a decade and a half ago.

        When I see it written in all capital letters, it’s an acronym, and I have no idea what that acronym means.

          You have more patience than I, you were very clear above. I am not sure why some people capitalize it. I think it’s just a weird mistake that people think seems right because it doesn’t seem like “English”.

            I didn’t grow up speaking English and only learned it in my teenage years. It makes me doubt whether my skills with three decades of English are proficient or not.

            でも、時々英語は本当に分かりにくい。しょうがない、ね?

              Well in this case it was the person responding to you just not reading, I guess? Because you stated very obviously what you were curious about.

          “cis” gets written in all-caps because cis people are fucking stupid and don’t give a shit about learning the right terminology. that’s the gist of it

          sometimes they think it’s an acronym that means “comfortable in skin”

            Never mind, found a source that showed that sometimes cisgender people will write “CIS” in all capital letters to mean “comfortable in skin.”

            Which is really weird, but it tracks.
