The narrator of the Kahn Academy video makes two errors: Entgegen, synonymous with trans, means opposed or against in German and it's pronounced ent-GEgen (not ENT-gegen). Zusammen, synonymous with cis, means together.
Cisgender. A completely superfluous word. If you're male you're male. No need to be labeled a cisgender male. The fact that liberals want to deconstruct reality doesn't mean that reality can be deconstructed.
To describe our new world where known lies are accepted and the most serious crime is wrong opinion, we need a new word for the practice of lying. "Transrealism" is already a thing, so maybe "transverity" to describe lying that we just accept, because the truth is such a stuffy obstructionist concept.

Chip -- these days words mean anything anyone wants it to mean. (But usually I think Kahn tries to be stay away from that ...)
I think you got Chip mixed up with chickelit.
But, your point is well taken.
