Who the fuck came up with the term 'cisgender'?

Your question is LITERAL VIOLENCE and has resulted in the deaths of one million TWOC sex workers.

Hang your head in shame, OP.

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".

Cis is a latin word meaning "on this side of"

What other words use “cis” as their prefix?

As a cis male, I never think about the fucking word and if you do OP, you need help.

I love the pointless bitchery of DL but the obsession with all things T is eyeroll inducing.

I did. And I also get more straight cock than you do. They just love fucking my artificial hole. Jealous bitches?

It's used a great deal in chemistry. For chirality, some molecules that are the same makeup are labeled cis- and trans-.

Ciscaucasus and Transcaucasus

But really, with all that's going on in the world, who cares?

So transgender means 'across from the gender' or 'through the gender' like Trans Siberian express?

Then there is a definition of gender and the normal value doesn't need to be determined with 'cis', right?

Who uses cis anyway, IRL? Less confusing to use male and female and whoever wants to be outside of those two terms can find their own, not change ours.

It's Latin. It is the opposite of Trans. No one made it up, but a psychiatrist used it in the 70s or 80s in some research material and it was mainly used in academic or research situations. She is or was given credit for the term but I don't know if that is still the case. I first heard the term in the early 90s when I was attending the VERY liberal and WOKE University of California Santa Cruz. (Unisex bathrooms in the dorms, clothing optional campus, vegitarianism before it was trendy). There was a grassroots campaign going on just before I graduated to drop gender pronouns and replace all "he's" and "she's" with "they".

I found it insufferable and totally annoying. The whole campus, and life at that school, that is.

Yes, unisex bathrooms can be annoying...

South Africa used to have two subdivisions, Transkei and Ciskei.

It was the fucking Germans, just like the ones 100 years ago who made up 'hetero-' and 'homosexual', and it's been a shit ride since then.

Q.v.: Cisalpine and Transalpine, as in "Cisalpine Gaul" and the "Cisalpine languages".

Thought “cis” was a nickname for Kathy Garver.

“Cis” is a slur as far as I’m concerned. If transgender or genderfluid or whatever people want me to respect their chosen terms and pronouns, then they can damn well respect mine. Man/He/Him. Fuck this cis-man / cis-woman shit.

Its the kind of shallow trendy pretentious pseudointellectual academic talk promoted by second rate academics.

OP, do you want to stir shit everyday?

OP = JK Rowling

Shish.

Thanks R16, you stole my thunder. I think you hear "trans" much more -- transatlantic, transpacific, Transamerica, lots more but oddly enough you rarely hear the "cis" prefix to these common words. (Though I don't know if cisamerica is a word. I'm going with not.)
