Ciseducation Defined

Betsy and Bobby go over what they want this show to be and how it came about. Then they take time to define a few basic terms at the center of any conversation about trans people. Also, Betsy has her first rant of the pod at 44:21!!

Terms we discussed:

-AMAB/AFAB: Assigned male at birth/assigned female at birth. Assigned genders based on a person's anatomy at birth.

-Trans: Latin prefix meaning "on the other side of". If your gender identity does not align with the one assigned at birth, you are transgender

-Cis: Latin prefix meaning "on the same side of". If your gender identity does align with the one assigned at birth, you are cisgender

-Transmasc/Transfem: Short for transmasculine and transfeminine; useful shorthand for trans people and their identities

-Nonbinary: Often shortened to NB or "enby". Umbrella  ...
