 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|gender non-conforming]] individuals may identify as cisgender, but still seek aspects of a gender transition.
