The definition of cis is, "a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth." Does you gender identity correspond to the sex you were assigned at birth? Mine does.

What are the origins of the word "cis"?

[–] hikaru755@feddit.de 8 points 3 months ago

The prefix cis- is Latin and means on this side of.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

Just as "trans-" means on the other side of. It's literally just the opposite of trans.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The term cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning 'on this side of', which is the opposite of trans-, meaning 'across from' or 'on the other side of'. This usage can be seen in the cis–trans distinction in chemistry, the cis and trans sides of the Golgi apparatus in cellular biology, the ancient Roman term Cisalpine Gaul (i.e. 'Gaul on this side of the Alps'), and Cisjordan (as distinguished from Transjordan). In cisgender, cis- describes the alignment of gender identity with assigned sex.

what if i feel like my gender identity is irrelevant?

other people care a lot more about my gender and sex than i do. i can tell you that.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Then it's irrelevant. It may be relevant to someone else but that's their problem.

Also, I don't accept I was "assigned a gender at birth". That's like a person of faith saying when I got a sole. Believe what you want, but don't expect me to join in.

You are free to believe whatever you want to believe.
