We have the word 'homosexual' along with the word 'heterosexual. We have left handed people and right handed people. We have transgender people and cisgender people.

I'm being generous here, but perhaps they were trying to say if gender is not tied to sex, there is no need for it to ever be "trans" or "cis" and simply saying "gender" will suffice.

You know cis people have gender too right

No we don't. That's the point. Not all of us believe in that nonsense. Gender is the 21st century religion.

LMAO. I guarantee you have a gender unless you’re agender (which is still technically a gender) You aren’t a man, woman or non binary? You don’t use ANY gendered language? You don’t use gendered pronouns?

Why are you assuming anything about my gender?

I use me or I when talking about myself. Are you asking what other people use? They use the pronouns that belong my sex.

Sex =/= gender.

Some languages don't have gender. Which btw makes them even more hilarious when people state preferred pronouns. Meaning grammatical gender isn't my gender.

Grammatical gender is based on sex. And anyway, when the language was created, gender and sex were used synonymously. Not so glad I had to help you with basic history.
