Original Note:
The term Sigusch created was cissexual. the origins of the term 'cisgender' are still in dispute. OED cites a 1994 post to the Usenet newsgroup alt.transgendered by user Dana Leland Defosse as the term’s origin. And 'cis' dates back to 1914 in German sexological lit https://www.historians.org/research-and-publications/perspectives-on-history/may-2017/tracing-terminology-researching-early-uses-of-cisgender https://www.cristanwilliams.com/2013/08/09/so-i-hear-trans-people-recently-invented-this-whole-cistrans-thing/
