OK, no offence intended, but I really hate the myriad of things those terms can imply. For starters, I say this as a male-identified person whose genetic tests show I have an XX karotype (albeit with possibly the highest natural testosterone levels before being diagnosable with certain "hormonal imbalances"). 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.
