'''Cisgender''' (often shortened to '''cis''') is the opposite of [[transgender]] or [[cisn’t]], meaning someone who identifies as the [[gender]] they were [[assigned]] at birth.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cisgender</ref> It describes [[men]] who were [[assigned male at birth]] and [[women]] who were [[assigned female at birth]], which still go by these terms. Some [[intersex]] individuals who are [[non-binary]] may think of themselves as cisgender, though not all do.

== Etymology ==
"Cis" comes from the Latin prefix meaning "on the same side", as in the
== Cisgender vs. Cissexual ==
Cissexual or [[cissex]], is a term based off transsexual/[[transsex]]. In some contexts, it can be useful to distinguish between cisgender and cissexual, along with distinguishing between transgender and transsexual. Cissexual can refer to someone who has not changed their bodies through medical interventions, such as hormones and/or surgeries, and does not seek to medically change their body.
This distinction can be useful as it's possible to be transgender and cissexual, meaning one identifies as another gender, but does not wish to medically transition. It is also possible to be cisgender and transsexual. For example, some drag artists and other [[gender non-conforming]] individuals may identify as cisgender, but still seek aspects of a gender transition.
== Flag ==
Two cisgender flags (including the most common pink and blue flag) were created on the same day by the same user.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/flagsforcishets/art/Straight-Cisgender-Gender-Binary-pride-flag-8-3-625974772}}</ref><ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/flagsforcishets/art/Heterosexual-Straight-Cisgender-pride-flag-7-1-625974441}}</ref> The pink and blue flag is said to have been created as a heterosexual flag by arianod. However, it was posted with the title "Straight/Cisgender" flag. The flag with the white heart was given the same title. It is unclear if these flags were intended as cisgender flags, as heterosexual flags, or as a cisgender heterosexual flags. No additional information is given for either of them.
The alternate greyscale cisgender flag was created by DeviantArt user FlagsforCisHets on August 4, 2016.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/flagsforcishets/art/Cisgender-pride-flag-2-625974644}}</ref> It has no confirmed meaning.
A fourth flag was created by FANDOM user [[User:OMeera|OMeera]] on June 8, 2021. The grayscale cisgender flag is depicted using black, and variations of gray. The heterosexual flag uses black and white (grayscale) to contrast with the rainbow flag.
A fifth flag was created by FANDOM user [[User:ThunderBrine|ThunderBrine]] on November 17, 2021. The cisgender flag is depicted using gray, and well as azure and rose on direct opposite ends on the flag, symbolizing gender isolation from each other, as if the color were to touch, it could be interpreted as gender questioning, or the midway point between identifying as cisgender and transitioning into transgender. There is also a flag with no cisgender symbols on them.
An alternate cisboy and cisgirl flag were created by stardusted-queerness on July 16, 2023. The creator created the alternatives without the inclusion of grey, as they felt that the color grey in the context of gender modality represented unimportance, or stereotypical normality - of which appears to designate cisgender as a bland or unimportant identity.<ref>https://www.tumblr.com/stardusted-queerness/722954454796812288/i-made-this-flags-for-cis-boy-and-cis-girl-after</ref>
