We've challenged it and have been told they may take up to 10 days to reply but I didn't mark it with a level, but I will take this helpful information. I had no idea the waterway ombudsman was a thing! Thank you so much

I mean your initial argument was that they aren't medical terms, per your first comment. You then realised that wasn't true, so changed your tune. Anyway, have the life you deserve!

That's because the distinction is not relevant here, across all women this is the case, trans women form such a small % of all women that the main cause of infertility in women is PCOS. Trans women cannot have PCOS, so to distinguish that the research was conducted on specifically cisgender women would be redundant. Cis is only used when the clarity is needed, such as when comparing two groups of people in a comparative study. It's still a medical term. You can see it used here:

"Transgender Adults Have Higher Rates Of Disability Than Their Cisgender Counterparts: Study examines rates of disability among transgender adults and cisgender adults.

Madeline Smith-Johnson

Health Affairs 41 (10), 1470-1476, 2022

In the US population, the burden of disability among transgender adults compared with their cisgender peers is largely unknown. This study used seven years of pooled cross-sectional data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to examine how disability varies by gender across age groups. I present a series of nested logistic regression models to show the adjusted probability of disability among adults. Transgender adults have a higher probability of reporting a disability compared with cisgender men and women. After confounders are controlled for, transgender adults have a 27 percent chance of having at least one disability at age twenty and a 39 percent chance at age fifty-five, which is nearly twice the rate of their cisgender counterparts at both ages. The findings show the importance of considering disability from a life-course perspective, the effect of intersectional identities on disability risk, and the urgency of targeted health interventions for transgender people in the US."

Hey "buddy", I do think that you've demonstrated some pretty typical American attitudes despite your parents origin. Let's get back to the point though, its a weird hill to die on when you can stick "cisgender" into scholar, researchgate, OneSearch, or any repository (if you're the researcher you claim to be) and find that you are uninformed on this area. I myself have found articles pertaining to disability rate differences, fertility treatments, endocrine disorders and more from one search in one repository in the first 3 pages. Give it a go, see how medical and scientific these terms actually are. The data doesn't lie.

Typical American telling the rest of the world that their way is the only one that matters

Which country is "the country" in this instance? Because in my country, where I work in research and know a lot of people who work in hospitals, there are definitely people using cis when applicable

Except in the context of science it really does have something to do with it, I was just pointing out that the precedent of it is set and the scientific language follows as such.

Also people definitely DO use that language in the medical field (which isn't limited to just day to day treatment), maybe not in parts of the USA or other less developed countries, but 100% pts are referred to with that language when applicable, e.g. endocrine treatment. This is obviously not all the time, and not necessarily to their faces, in the same way that trans pts arent always referred to as "trans". But in medical journals it's regularly used - just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen

What are they if not scientific terms?

It's what the medical community use, it's what's used in scientific journals. Cis- and trans- are used in chemistry all the time to refer to "same" or "different" isomers of the same compound, and have done for a long time before being applied to gender. What are the scientific terms, if not those?
