House Bill 752 criminalizes trans bathroom use in all private businesses with severe penalties. While passing it, Republicans argued trans people won't be harmed because they don't exist.
It can very well come from Latin. Trans can be translated as “above”, “beyond” or “across”. Cis can be translated as “within” or “inside”.
So someone who is Cisgender is “inside” their gender assigned at birth. Someone who is transgender is “beyond” their assigned gender at birth and now has a different gender.
You have more patience than I, you were very clear above. I am not sure why some people capitalize it. I think it’s just a weird mistake that people think seems right because it doesn’t seem like “English”.
I didn’t grow up speaking English and only learned it in my teenage years. It makes me doubt whether my skills with three decades of English are proficient or not.

Yeah, but my comment said that I understood that, but I was wondering when it became an acronym, and what does that acronym mean.
Trans is just the opposite of cis. Cis is someone comfortable in their AGAB and someone who is trans is not comfortable in thei AGAB.
I understand the meaning of it when it’s written in lowercase. I mean, I’m trans. Came out a decade and a half ago.
When I see it written in all capital letters, it’s an acronym, and I have no idea what that acronym means.
“cis” gets written in all-caps because cis people are fucking stupid. that’s the gist of it

でも、時々英語は本当に分かりにくい。しょうがない、ね？
Well in this case it was the person responding to you just not reading, I guess? Because you stated very obviously what you were curious about.
You’re fine, don’t worry about it.
Ah, thats what you meant. I personally have never seen it being written with all capital letters.
Cis isn’t an acronym. No one here has any idea what you’re talking about.
Never mind, found a source that showed that sometimes cisgender people will write “CIS” in all capital letters to mean “comfortable in skin.”
Which is really weird, but it tracks.
