Cisgender

Cisgender

Cisgender is a term used to describe individuals whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. This means that if someone was born with male genitalia and identifies as a man, they would be considered a cisgender man. Similarly, if someone was born with female genitalia and identifies as a woman, they would be considered a cisgender woman.

The term cisgender is often used in contrast to the term transgender, which refers to individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Cisgender individuals may also identify as heterosexual if they are attracted to people of the opposite gender.

Gender Types


Gender identity is a deeply personal and complex aspect of a person's identity, and it can vary widely from person to person. Some people identify as male, some as female, while others identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or another gender identity.

Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, it is a person's subjective experience of their own gender.

Identity & expression


It's important to note that gender identity is not the same as biological sex, which is typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics. Gender identity is also distinct from gender expression, which refers to how a person presents their gender to the world through clothing, hairstyle, behavior, and other factors.

Respect


It's important to respect and validate each individual's gender identity, regardless of how it may differ from societal expectations or traditional notions of gender. People should be able to express their gender identity in a way that feels authentic to them and should be able to access the rights and protections they need to live fulfilling lives.
