Cisgender

A cisgender individual, often shortened to just cis, is someone who identifies with the gender they were assigned to at birth. This is often seen as the opposite of transgender. The term 'cisgender' comes from the Latin prefix 'cis-' "on this side of" and 'gender'. It was coined in as early as 1994 in a newsgroup called Usenet, to differentiate transgender individuals (the term had existed since the p1970s) and non-transgender individuals. The cisgender identity is not considered a part of the LGBTQ+ group of identities.
