Cisgender (often abbreviated to simply cis) is a term for people whose experiences of their own gender agree with the sex they were assigned at birth. Cisgender may also be defined as those who have "a gender identity or perform a gender role society considers appropriate for one's sex."
Many also noticed a shift in their friendships after they transitioned, with some struggling to make friends with cisgender men, unsure of the social cues of male friendship.

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.
