Church of England -why aren't you asking 'What is a Man?'

The Church of England now doesn't know what a woman is, despite successfully managing to discriminate against women for centuries.

Perhaps their minds would focus better if they considered 'What is a man?'

Thank you Doodledog for your explanation, it’s very helpful. Also thanks to Callistemon. I should have asked my husband, he did a Latin/Classics degree (also French but that’s irrelevant here) and he would have explained. I never studied Latin so didn’t know anything about the origin of those words. Of course I’ve heard of trans, it’s in so many every day words, but cis was a new one on me. And of course, like others, I find it rather offensive.
