    It's by direct analogy with Transalpine and Cisalpine Gaul (Galla Transalpina and Galla Cisalpina), which were named by, you know, Julius Caesar, in one of his most famous writings But I'm sure you know more about Latin grammar than he didhttps://twitter.com/ReginaAtkinson0/status/1290463564499767296 …

    It’s unnecessary cod Latin. The use of trans in trans gender is the “to change” or “to cross”, not “the other side” so it has no antonym,just as a London to Paris flight is not cis-Atlantic, and the opposite of transformed is “not transformed” rather than “cis-formed.”

        "Transgender" in its modern usage does not mean that the trans person has "changed gender" It means that their real/internal gender is different from their assigned gender, that the two gender designations are on "opposite sides of the gender line"

        Which is the same way we talk about "trans" and "cis" configurations of molecules -- are the functional groups on opposite sides of the backbone or on the same side It's a fairly neat analogy

        I always imagined it was more inspired by cis- and trans- isomers in chemistry. Does anyone know for sure?

        That was my guess too. Of course it's ultimately the same thing really, but I'd be curious to know too

        It's unnecessary snobbery anyway until these people form a campaign to ban any and all uses of the word "prequel". Because as long as you let that stand you have no business calling out word formation patterns anywhere else.

        I don’t mind “prequel” as long as it means a work that takes place chronologically in-universe prior to the original but was created afterward.

        My favorite is downstring when someone takes a bunch of examples from famous Classical philosophers using cis and trans in this exact way to dunk on this person who says that Ceasar uses them in variant ways.
