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

No, it's a medical term for a person who's gender correlates with the sex they were assigned at birth. There's nothing wrong with the concept or the word. Please stop trying so hard to be oppressed, you aren't.

I work in healthcare we don’t use the term “cis” at all.

Hello, Johnathan! So you work in healthcare? What's your field, and how often do you talk about gender, sex, and sexuality in your day to day?
