Original Note:
The screenshotted article (https://4w.pub/cis-coined-by-pedosexual-researcher/) does not cite any sources for any of the claims in the screenshot, like that he was "pedosexual". The origin of the word "cisgender" is disputed¹, and the "cis-" prefix was used for cisgender people before said researcher was alive². 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Volkmar_Sigusch#Dubious 1: https://www.historians.org/research-and-publications/perspectives-on-history/may-2017/tracing-terminology-researching-early-uses-of-cisgender 2: https://www.cristanwilliams.com/2013/08/09/so-i-hear-trans-people-recently-invented-this-whole-cistrans-thing/
