Cisgender
The word ''cisgender'' (often shortened to ''cis''; sometimes ''cissexual'') describes a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not ''transgender''. The prefix '' cis-'' is Latin and means ''on this side of''. The term ''cisgender'' was coined in 1994 as an antonym to ''transgender'', and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender. Related concepts are cisnormativity (the presumption that cisgender identity is preferred or normal) and cissexism (bias or prejudice favoring cisgender people). Etymology The term ''cisgender'' has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix '' cis-'', meaning 'on this side of', which is the opposite of '' trans-'', meaning 'across from' or 'on the other side of'.

Patterns are generally categorized under heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality, while asexuality (experiencing no sexual attraction to others) is sometimes identified as the fourth category.
