If trans women are women, why have separate options for transgenders? Shouldn't a trans women just click "female?" Why separate them?
Ignoring the grammatically incorrect use of transgender as a noun, my guess is that due to their prevalence on Atlas, trans women are separated from cis women to show what percentage of women on Atlas are trans. Why cis is in parentheses and trans is not is beyond me.
Yeah this is basically the reason. It is a good "crosstab" to have because of their comparatively high number (just look at how cis and trans women are tied here while irl the former outnumber the latter what, 500 to 1?)
As for cis in parenthesis, no idea why I did that tbh; maybe I should have removed them
