Some Trans women and Trans men prefer "cisgender" while others prefer to simply say "non-TS/non-Trans". I also know two Trans women whose karotype is XXY, but without Kleinfelter's Syndrome, making their "genetic" status technically "Intersexed" while their natal-assigned sex (based on appearances for one woman, and based on a minor reconstruction for the other) was obviously "male".

I know people are going to say whatever they like, regardless, but I just thought I'd share for those who'd like to learn some more.
