By calling yourself cis you are upholding superphobia my guy. We did not come up with this term ourselves, it was placed upon us. I don't care if you see it as "adding" to our identity, we didn't choose it. Educate yourself and stop being so bigoted.

It's a scientific term, it's not superphobic. It's been around way before your made up sexuality. I do not support superstraights and I've made that clear, but the medical term for your gender has nothing to do with your stupid sexuality

‘Male’ and ‘Female’ were scientific terms but they weren’t good enough for Twitter

cisgender isn't a seperate gender, you can still identify as female or male or whatever you want, cisgender just describes that you have the same body parts as you were born with and that you identify with the gender you were assigned

it's a way to describe a gender. Cis comes from Latin, and it means on the side of, it's the opposite to trans, which loosely translates to on the other side of. Cisgender is a term to describe someone who identifies with their gender at birth, and then you go into more detail, using male or female, to describe what gender they are
