Topic	New York cis woman attacked after being mistaken for trans woman
SpawnShadow 10/12/23 11:51:22 AM #9:	Big_Nabendu posted... Wat does cis stand for? It's not an acronym that stands for anything, it's a prefix originating from Latin that means "on this side", as opposed to "trans" (meaning "on the opposite side of"; see "cisalpine" vs. "transalpine" or "transatlantic" vs. "cisatlantic" as examples). Thus, "cisgender" (commonly shortened as "cis") means that you identify with the gender identity that you were assigned at birth, contrasting with "transgender" (which means that you don't identify as the gender you were assigned; commonly shortened as "trans"). <cite>SpawnShadow posted [p:976615725] in New York c...
