cis lesbian
I guess I don’t know what cis means. Pretty sure I’m clear on lesbian, but I guess you never know.

Nice. I appreciate the simple explanation. And fuck this place for downvoting people looking for explanations. Just lemmy flavoured reddit dickheads.

Cisgender means “gender match (birth) genitals”

Cis is short for cisgender. It’s the antonym of transgender. Has nothing to do with sexuality.
Cis-het would be cisgender, heterosexual.

Trans comes from “on the other side” as cis comes from “on the same side”.

It’s about having a conversation. Who knows, maybe a bunch of people that were confused on terms learned from this.

You are clearly overestimating the American public education system.

Okay, I’ll never ask a question about anything I don’t know ever again.
Please suck my genitals on your way to go fuck yourself.

I think a lot of people don’t. The word ‘cis’ seems to have been invented because some people object to the term biologically-female or biologically-male, but that’s generally what it means.

Cis and trans have existed since Rome was a thing

So has the french language but it still isn’t going to adequately convey the meaning of biological sex to most Americans.

No, French did not exist at the same time as the Roman Empire.

To add, cisgender is not that new of a word, it’s been around since the 90s in English. Using the term “biological male/female” is an immidate red flag as it carries with it the insinuation that trans identities are not ligitimate; you could just say “not trans.” Hence the heavy use by right wingers and bigots.

Thank you for your response.

Specifically transhobes prefer saying biological this and that rather than use a trans persons gender identity as a way to purposefully invalidate them

…trans lesbians also exist
