Original Note:
Cisgender is in fact an academic term that describes a person whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth. Unlike what is suggested here, it is not considered a slur, but a neutral word that is used to contrast with transgender. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cisgender https://www.britannica.com/topic/cisgender https://dictionary.apa.org/cisgender https://www.ncl.ac.uk/who-we-are/equality/language-inclusivity/glossary/ https://www.bmc.org/glossary-culture-transformation/cisgender https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/history-general-science/word-cisgender-has-scientific-roots https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/cisgender https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36287302/
