cisgender
- /sɪsˈdʒɛndə/ UK
- /sɪsˈd͡ʒɛndɚ/ US
Where it comes from
From cis- (“on this side of”) + gender, by analogy with transgender. First attested in 1997. Compare slightly earlier cisgendered (1994).
adjective
-
Having a gender identity which matches the sex one was assigned at birth; or, pertaining to such people.
To uphold the inequality that we choose to engage in, we regularly present the myth that trans people are deviant or a danger to cisgender people.
Similar: cisgendered, nontrans, nontransgender · Opposite: non-cisgender
noun cisgenders
- A cisgender person. Even in regard to cisgenders, research shows that it's “easier” for people to identify male than female features, meaning that the default “visible” person in our culture is male “unless proven otherwise.”
