Information about Trans

Trans is a Latin noun or prefix, meaning "across", "beyond" or "on the opposite side [of]" . It is the opposite of cis, which means "on the same side [of]".
  • In chemistry, a double bond (or ring) not subject to free rotation in which the greater radical on both ends is on the opposite side of the bond (or face of the ring) is called trans. Compare with cis.
In the diagram on the right, the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the carbon chain. They cannot rotate to the same side of the molecule, as (unlike with a single bond) double bonds prevent this from happening. A similar phenomenon is seen in cyclic compounds (in which the atoms form a closed ring), where substituents can be on the same "face" of the ring (cis) or opposite faces (trans.)
See geometric isomerism for more on this topic. See also Trans fat.
*The term transsexual (alternatively spelt transexual) is a portmanteau of the latin "trans" (across) and the English "sexuality" which refers to people whose gender identity is incongruent with their physical or assigned sex, and who desires or has had medical treatment to alter their bodies to better reflect their gender identity. It is an antonym of cisgender.
*A trans man is a man who identifies as both trans and male (irrespective of physical characteristics and assigned sex). A trans woman is a person who identifies as both trans and female (also irrespective of physical characteristics and assigned sex). Both terms are antonyms of cisgender.
