[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to understand why is there a need to use words like “transgender female” or “cisgender male” as opposed to simply female or male? Why does what you were assigned at birth matter? Are those adjectives wanted? Why are they needed?[/quote] As far as I know, no one uses the terms “transgender female” or “cisgender male” but rather use transgender man and cisgender woman. You don't have to use transgender or cisgender if you don't want to and in most conversations it's not relevant. They are adjectives that modify/describe the noun to provide more context in the appropriate situation. So for example, if you went to lunch and everyone there was transgender except for you, you might mention that you're a cis woman so it's not assumed you understand everything being discussed or all the terminology being used.[/quote]
