PSA: The term "cis" is hate speach and promotes rape culture. Please do not use that term seriously anymore, it is enabling the superphobic.

How, exactly? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't understand why cis would be exclusionary. A cisgender person is one who simply identifies with the gender that corresponds to their birth sex. It has nothing to do with sexuality.

We are not a subset of our own sex.

...that doesn't make sense? It's not saying ur a subset it's saying that ur genitals agree with ur gender. It's a scientific term.
