What's the difference between 'cis by default' and 'agender'?

Whether or not you identify with your assigned gender. Cis by default still means you identify as cis.

Sure you do. If I call you a woman, do you feel the label correctly describes you? If so, you identify as a woman. If I call you a Zoroastrian, do you feel the same way? If not, then you don't identify as Zoroastrian. It's pretty easy.

The label is used to predict things, right? If you call me a woman, I think "I have a vagina, and long hair, and XX chromosomes, and those things are extremely highly correlated with the word 'woman,' so yes that label fits"
'Identity' seems like a word that doesn't mean that tho

neither do I TBH, I don't have a gender so I'm relying on other people's reports.
