Like Inside as the outside. Do you feel like a man and were born male, do you feel like a woman and were born female? Then you are cis. It's the opposite of trans: inside not like the outside.

Ooh, thanks for the insight!
So does that mean one could be Cis and Gay for example? As in feeling like a man and born male, and also attracted to men?

Yeah, pretty much. IIUC being trans does not have anything to do with terms for sexual attraction.

Question for the crowd who understands this better, a transwoman attracted to women is still termed a lesbian, right?

Yep. Gay transmen, Bi transpeople, Lesbian transwomen and every other sexual attraction paired with the queer spectrum.

What is 'IIUC'?

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

"If I Understand Correctly", most likely. Same pattern as "If I Recall Correctly" (IIRC).

Yes. Those are the manliest of men.

And they've got the theme song for Two and a Half Men playing in their heads at all times
