Short for the COmbined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory, the COGIATI is a classic, old-internet quiz made by Jennifer Diane Reitz (a transgender woman) to help people determine if they are transgender, using 65 questions to classify respondents on a scale whose categories include "Definite Male", "Feminine Male", "Androgyne", "Probable Transsexual", and "Classic Transsexual".
It was made in the late 1990s and reeks of 90s sexism such as being bad at math and driving being feminine traits, and criticisms of it frequently point out it effectively is just an "are you a comically girly girl" quiz with no scientific merit, despite the alleged rooting of the questions in unidentified "recent research papers". Many transgender women who were struggling with their gender identity in the 2000s have stated the COGIATI made them seriously doubt their identity, being unable to envision themselves as girly girls and repressing (repping) their transness far longer than they would have otherwise. It also only acknowledges the existence of transgender women; enbies and transgender men are ignored by the test.
Though it is still available to take, it is by and large treated as a joke for its roots in gender essentialism and is typically used as shorthand on /lgbt/ (/tttt/) to imply someone is trying too hard to be trutrans or holds views reminiscent of the 1950s.

The spectre of the COGIATI haunts /lgbt/...
>gf who makes you take cogiati test before dating her to see if you're true trans or not
Susan’s Place forums are so weird, bunch of botched lateshits full of honscience posting on a board that’s a COGIATI spinoff project.
ITT: it is 2005 and we're doing the COGIATI to figure out if we're trans enough!
Imagine what it was like before there were social media trans communities and before there were places like /lgbt/ and /cd/. This and TSroadmap were about what there was, and the main online "do I really have dysphoria" resource was the fucking COGIATI. It was a goddamn mess, and you were kinda screwed if you couldn't worm your way into one of the smaller online cliques.

1) After the lockdown, I decided to marry My Covida as we never rowed, and the sex just got better.
2) My Covida drove me mad for the last three months, and as soon as the lockdown ended, I kicked her out the house!
