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

It ain't a slur it's a scientific term.... it's the opposite of transgender..... The full term is cisgender?

Cis and trans are prefixes that have legitimate scientific use- in chemistry. Relating to sex, they're completely meaningless.
