      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 …

      Replying to @WilliamShatner
      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

          My life was saved by cisplatin. Which has the opposite chirality of transplatin.

          I actually started writing a screenplay in which a freak accident creates a large population of mirrored people, and it was a fun exercise calculating the chirality of various food components and researching the effects of, e.g., consuming l-glucose.

          I happened to be doing cis-trans isomerism in organic chem when I first learned the term "cisgender," and I thought it was really clever!

          I've seen some presentations on the future of the "cislunar economy" that I always think about whenever this topic comes up. Really easy to mentally picture the difference between cislunar vs translunar; and how idiotic it would be to think "cislunar" is an insult to the moon.

          Looking forward to the day when some TERFs complain that baby engineers are trying to hex the moon.
