I hope that some day cisgender people will learn that “transgender” isn’t a gender. Listing “transgender” as a pick-one choice is a bit like, “So, is your gender male, female,  nonbinary, or left-handed?” 

Also, two-spirit is a nonbinary identity, so there it’s akin to asking, “Are you a cake or a carrot cake?"
