As in cis-gendered. New one on me. First ran across the term/prefix while web surfing. Finally looked it up and apparently it means "not trans" as in "not trans gendered" The trans gender activists felt the need for a word to apply to everyone who is not in their group, i.e. regular people. If you are doing a culture war, it helps to have a word for the enemy.
In the real world then cis-gendered means girls who think they are girls and want to grow up to be women, and boys who think they are boys and want to grow up to be men. In short, kids who lack psychological hangups about their sexuality.
Why does the invention of this new trendy word bother me?
