There's no such thing as 'trans' tho.

You either make eggs or egg crackers.

This linguistic argument is altogether fruitless both in its nature as strictly semantic and in its nature as idiotic.

"Trans" certainly exists in a linguistic sense. The terms "cis" and "trans" are utilized in several areas, one of which being Chemistry. These two terms are utilized to speak of different forms of the same molecule and how they are conformed in space. This is similar to how they are utilized to speak about trans identity. It speaks to different forms of the same concept.

That said, the utter irrelevance of your ravings strikes me. I explicitly stated that I was not making an argument which was predicated on any personal opinions regarding the validity of trans identity, so I will leave you here to tilt at windmills.

Have a night.

I'm a chem grad from the naughties so I was using cis and trans exactly as it was supposed to be used, thanks.

Identify as whatever you want but don't attempt to change reality for everybody else.
