Original Note:
Cisgender is not a slur. It is a scientific term that denotes one’s preferred gender as equal to their assigned gender. “Cis” is a latin prefix meaning “On This Side Of”. Latin is the adopted common language used for scientific work. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/06/30/cisgender-twitter-musk-suspension/ https://www.britannica.com/question/Why-is-Latin-used-for-scientific-taxonomy#:~:text=Latin%20was%20the%20lingua%20franca,for%20naming%20species%20of%20organisms.
