Image description: 4 panel comic titled If Trans People Said the Things Cis People Tell Them.

Panel one has an androgynous individual talking to a woman. The androgynous individual, "To me, you are 100% a girl, you know?" The woman has a look of confusion and disgust and responds with, "Wow, thanks."

Panel two has the same androgynous individual speaking with a man. The androgynous individual is saying, "It's so incredibly you look just like an actual boy!" The man is rubbing the back of his head in nervous confusion and says, "Yeah, I... am one?"

Panel three has the androgynous individual speaking with someone of ambiguous gender. The androgynous individual says, "I would never have guessed you were cis! Congratulations!" The other person is looking at them with an expression of confusion and concern.

Panel four has the androgynous individual speaking to a man. The androgynous individual says, "I think you are so brave for being who you are." The man is frowning at them.

Maybe Greek instead of Latin? I think that would be homogender instead of cisgender and heterogender instead of transgender.

Won't lie, I'm digging homogender. No reason we can't use homogender as a synonym for cisgender.

It'll piss off the transphobic assholes by making the really stupid ones think we're calling them gay.

That was the exact reason I posted it (I cannot take credit for the idea, that I got from TikTok ). I personally am a cisgender straight white male, that said, I have no issue being called homogender.

I like that cis- and trans- mean on this side and on the other side. It captures a sense of motion I like. Homo- and hetero- meaning same or different doesn't do the same thing for me.

If you wanted to go Greek I would start with looking at dia- for across and maybe peri- for near.
