But ‘trans-’ (and ‘cis-’!) is also a prefix. cf. “transnational”, “transalpine”, “transcranial”, “transcode”, etc. To be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t insist on the space, but implying that it would otherwise be malformed or ungrammatical is a bad argument.

You are linguistically correct - thats why transgender is one word, as a concept. As a noun, theres a space because trans/cis becomes an adjective. :)
