Original Note:
"Cis" ("on this side of"), opposite of "trans", is an ancient Latin term with established use as a prefix (cislunar, cisatlantic), first applied to sexology in 1914. "Cis-" adjectives arise from their "trans-" opposites as a linguistic rule; who coined them is irrelevant. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cis https://www.rawstory.com/no-elon-musk-cis-is-not-a-slur/ https://medium.com/@davidallsopp/no-cis-is-not-a-slur-aae84f775279
