Is "Cisgender" even a real word?

[Anonymous]

I know what "heterosexual" is but I never heard of "cisgender" before until I look it up, and what it means. Yes if your male, you born male if your female you born female so where does this "cisgender" Come from?

So Cis is a latin preposition just meaning "on this side". So bassically its just a describtion in shlrt form that could have been used since latin as a language was born. A quick research showed, that apperantly in german the word along with trans- was used in a study in 1914. First coined and officially described it seems to begin in 1991.

So yes its a real latin word. Which is used in medicin and psychological studies concerning gender.

I think you mean sociological, not psychological?

[msmissydc]

No, I mean psychological. Sociology is something different, thats what I studied.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Okay, I've never heard the word in a psychological context, only in sociology

It's a dumb word made up by one of the most perverted degenerates that's ever lived. I think it's an attempt by the left to retcon all of human history into an LGBT scope. The people who use the word think that because a few poor misguided souls have been indoctrinated and lied to about who they are need special words for their identity, that those of us who know and love who we are somehow need our own special labels too.

Ultimately, whether intended or not, it's a slur.

It's a pity because there could have been a sound reasoning here, about labels, but you destroyed the opportunity by narrowing everything to morality

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It's a word mainly spread due to the societal emergence of trans identity, it is used to differentiate cisgenre and transgenre. It's just classification vocabulary. You won't be using this term often unless you start meeting up in LGBTQ circles

"Zhey" think it's a sick burn, but "Whe" just think they are acting like preschoolers.

That's one of those new "woke" words. It's really not important that you know what it means. It just means they consider themselves special and want to be treated as such. Accommodate them as you feel. To quote the late great George Carlin, "life doesn't change because you post a sign". It doesn't hurt them to remember that.

Its a word only used by a subset of people who are trans advocates or trans themselves. Personally I just call it biological.

Cisgender is a nonsense word made up by insane people who stereotype gender mentalities to the point of having an identity crisis.

I’ve heard this word used quite often but it’s usually people who are in the LGBQT community even though as far as I know, it means they’re just the one gender

[Twalli]

I think it's just something for transgenders to identify people who were born the gender they are.

[SoJust]

This is the first time I've heard this word

[noohair]

It is a slur. They will not admit to that.
