"Cis" comes from the Latin prefix meaning "on the same side", as in the cis–trans distinction in chemistry. The origin of the term in reference to gender is credited to Carl Buijs, who proposed the term in 1995<ref>http://cydathria.com/ms_donna/tg_def.html#cisgender</ref>, and although the word had been used on the internet before 1995, Carl Buijs is the first recorded source to define the term. |

Two other flags were created on the same day by the same user.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/flagsforcishets/art/Straight-Cisgender-Gender-Binary-pride-flag-8-3-625974772</ref><ref>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. |
