Les superphysionomistes, eux, n'oublient jamais un visage rencontré ne fût-ce qu'une fois. Ils reconnaissent une personne des années plus tard, même après l'avoir vue seulement une ou deux fois très brièvement. [...] Ces superphysionomistes semblent avoir le don de traiter les visages inconnus avec la même efficacité que la plupart des gens avec leurs proches. Par ailleurs, ces surdoués des visages sont souvent en mesure de reconnaître quelqu'un à partir de quelques fragments d'images. 1, record 1, French, - superphysionomiste

Whereas... cis and trans [are typically defined] as the presence or absence of correspondence between gender identity and gender assigned at birth,... gender modality [is defined] through 'standing in relation to’ because the all-or-nothing nature of ’correspondence’ may be too constraining for the nuances gender modality wishes to capture.... The terminology recognises the difference between, say, trans and cis women, while at the same time recognising that this difference is not one that makes trans women any less or worse women. Whereas trans and cis women have a different gender modality, they share the same gender identity : woman. Discrimination against trans people is often described as discrimination based on gender identity. However, it would be even more accurate to say it is discrimination based on gender modality, as trans people face discrimination because their gender identity doesn’t correspond to the gender they were assigned at birth... 1, record 2, English, - gender%20modality
