You missed the point. Race is a social construct, as is gender
Yes, I understood you the first time, but what does social construct mean?
Another race, that’s what humans deem too different from themselves to consider them equal. (Even though there are not enough genetic differences to qualify for an actual different race). But these differences are physical and not socially constructed.
Neurological differences between men and women aren't socially constructed any more than racial characteristics are. You should read up on the neurology of trans and cis people.
Alright. I get what trans people are. Those are people that attempt to transition their physical features from their born sex to the opposite sex.
But what do you mean with cis people? Do you mean normal, or generic, or average?
I only know the terms cis and trans primarily from chemistry, even though those are old nomenclature.
No. It's people whose gender doesn't match their sex. Has nothing to do with transitioning
Cis is the opposite of trans
So people that do not transition could still be transgender?
Can people who are celibate be gay?
Well. Yes and no. It’s kind of a schroedinger situation. Celibate people are straight and gay at the same time.
Jokes aside. Sexuality is an attraction. It’s kind of different to trans.
