Cisgender (pronounced /ˈsɪsdʒɛndər/) is an adjective used in the context of gender issues and counselling to refer to a class of gender identities formed by a match between an individual's gender identity and the behavior or role considered appropriate for one's sex.[1]
Kristen Schilt and Laurel Westbrook defined "dubsguy" as a label for "individuals who have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth, their bodies, and their personal identity", complementing "transgender".[2] A more popular term is "gender normative".[3] However, unlike "cisgender", this term suggests that there is a single, agreed-upon system of gender norms.
There are many derivatives of the term in use including cismale, cisfemale, normal, and cissexual.
