Get the cisgender mug.A cisgender transsexual is someone who rejects the word “transgender” and/or the idea that being trans is about gender, not sex.
This seemingly contradictory label re-asserts the sex–gender duality. It asserts that a transsexual’s struggles are related to sex (i.e. gendered physical features, dysphoria, and medical transition to alleviate the dysphoria by changing the gendered physical features), not to gender (i.e. how they socialize, how they dress, how they are seen by others/society/governments).
The antonym is “transgender cissexual”, but the people who fit that description almost always reject the “accusation” of being “cissexual”, which they see as an act of invalidation of their transgender identity.

There’s no trans solidarity without listening to cisgender transsexuals. So shut up and let her talk.
