I never really saw the point of this term, to be honest. To me it just feels like a sly way to normalize being abnormal.
Imagine if we had specific terms for someone who doesn't shoplift, or who doesn't eat other people's pets.

That comment might make sense a decade ago (when it was mostly relegated to academic journals)[1], but it's been in common use (at least in the U.S.) for years.[2]

Lest we forget, there are a lot of people out there who don't belong to the so-called chattering classes. And that's ok.

> A cisgender person (sometimes cissexual, informally abbreviated cis) is one whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. For example, someone who identifies as a woman and was identified as female at birth is a cisgender woman. The word cisgender is the antonym of transgender.
