Why can't cis women recognize how they experience privilege by being cisgender? (an actual quote)
Calling me a cis man or cisgender man is the same as calling me a man and in most of the world, they will look at you strangely if you self-identify as cisgender.

Not transgender, that is, having a gender identity or gender role that society considers appropriate for the sex one was assigned at birth. The prefix cis- is pronounced like "sis".

Transgender does use cisgender as a slur to put down biological women and biological men.
It’s a label imposed by Transgender rather than one adopted from within. Such terms are rarely welcome.
Thus, people who do not subscribe to woke ideology are called 'Transphobic'.

Also known as “Cis”
It’s a scientific term that means you identify as the sex you were given at birth. If you were born a female and you identify as female, then you are cisgender female. Same with male. IT IS NOT A SLUR.

Not a derogatory term at all as many transgender people use it to describe people they know and sometimes love.
Cisgender is a term for someone who has a gender identity that aligns with what they were assigned at birth. The term was created for referring to "non-transgender" people without alienating transgender people. Basically if you were born a woman and do womanly things and like to be referred to as a woman, then you are a cisgender. Not a bad thing.

I don’t feel my gender in my bones the way some people do—the way my wife, who’s a cisgender lesbian, describes feeling about her femaleness.
