Cismedicalism is the idea that being transgender is not primarily a medical issue related to the incongruence between an individual's assigned sex at birth and their gender identity, characterized by gender dysphoria. Cismedicalists believe individuals who identify as transgender without experiencing gender dysphoria or desiring to undergo any social or medical transition through methods such as hormone replacement therapy or sex reassignment surgery are genuinely transgender. Cismedicalists also reject the idea that gender identity is rooted in biology and that it’s just a social category constructed by society. They also include those who identify themselves as non-binary under the cis label. Cismedicalists is also an alternative to “Trans Sympathizers”
