A cisgender person is someone who is not transgender and can thus also be referred to as a non-transgender person.[1] It is often shortened to cis, which comes from the Latin prefix "cis-" meaning "on the same side of", making it an antonym of "trans-". Cisgender people have a gender identity that matches the gender or sex they were assigned at birth. Their gender expression or gender presentation may be gender non-conforming,[2][3] such as a femme man who was assigned male at birth.[3] The term "cisgender" should be used when referring to people's genders instead of inaccurate terms like "bio(logical)", "born", "genetic", "natal", or "real".[4] Not all cisgender people are cisgender heterosexual.
