Like the other person said, trans supposes the person has a male/female brain born in a female/male body. Cis assumes male/female brain born in male/female body. However, the brain does not have a gender. I don't accept the term cis as I would have to agree that the brain has a gender.

I would talk about "gender identity" or "gender expression", as opposed to "gendered brain".

Now, obviously, like. The relationship between those things is complex and poorly understood, and in some philosophical sense, any kind of identity or self-understanding is ultimately a product of the brain. But there's a degree of complexity in that relationship. To reduce the claim to saying that a brain is biologically female or male is not a fair way to understand it.

"Gender identity" is one facet of a broader sense of being and self-understanding that is constructed from the biological material in ways that we don't even come close to understanding yet. We can't trace the biological basis for any particular aspect of that identity - so, yes, we can't really say that a brain is male or female - but we can listen to what people tell us about their own identities.

Anyway, that's how I see it.
