“So I did say the other day I won’t be coining anything, because that’s sorta not my thing – but I guess I can’t resist it when the identity I’m asked about is interesting enough.
Transcis/Diacis
This is a term for those who identify as a cisgender person of a gender, different from their AGAB. It can be described as a transid cisgender identity.
I received an ask about transid cisgender, and I went to look for such terminology, and what I found somewhat fits, but also doesn’t. The transcis identity seems to have only been discussed as an identity for multigender people who have one gender matching their AGAB, and while there exist definitions that extend it to “having a connection to cis or trans manhood, womanhood, etc”, the bulk of this term’s usage is still positioned elsewhere.
The same can be said about the term “AGAB non conforming”, which is primarily discussed in context of people who do not identify as cisgender (such as AFAB transfeminine people).
So I want to define the diacis identity as something that’s adjacent to the terms above, yet somewhat different. I’m making it with primarily binary and monogender people in mind, those who identify as cis men despite being AFAB and cis women despite being AMAB, but it also includes people who identify as cis under different concepts of cisness, binary or nonbinary, monogender or multigender. This term may apply to the entirety of someone’s gender or a part of it.
The flag is made from an overlay of the trans flag and this version of the cis flag.”
