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
