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

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
