    I suppose technically instead of transgender we could use heterogender, meaning we’d say homogender instead of cisgender. The only time you’d use these terms (and similar ones, like AFAB/AMAB) is in specific situations where the nuance distinguishing the two matters.

    You don’t have to use the terms either. It’s fully acceptable to just call people men and women, particularly in contexts where their assigned sex doesn’t matter, which I’d wager for most people is pretty much all the time.

      go ahead, go out into the world, and start referring to any other person as “homogender”, ahahahaha, come back and report how far you got before someone punched you square in the nose
