Cisgender

Cisgender

In gender studies, cisgender and cissexual gender identities are two related types of gender identity where an individual's self-perception and presentation of their gender matches the behaviors and roles considered appropriate for one's sex. There are a number of derivatives of the terms in use, including cis male for a male with a masculine gender identity, cis female for a female with a feminine gender identity, and cissexism. In addition, certain scholars have begun to use the term cisnormativity, akin to the queer studies' heteronormativity.
