m (Readded quotations around the cisgender "flag." Unless you're being attacked and harrassed for being cis, you don't need to have a pride flag. A cisgender person in the comments said they removed it for transphobic reasons, so I readded it.) |

'''Cisgender''' (often shortened to '''cis''') is the opposite of [[transgender]] or [[Cisn't|cisn’t]], meaning someone who always identifies wholly and exclusively as the gender they were assigned at birth. The term is not an identity by itself, rather it is a term used primarily by the transgender community as a way to describe those who are not trans. It describes [[Man|men]] who were [[AMAB|assigned male at birth]] and [[Woman|women]] who were [[AFAB|assigned female at birth]]. Some [[intersex]] people who are [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] may think of themselves as cisgender. |

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. |

A fourth flag was created by LGBTA user OMeera on June 8th, 2021. The grayscale cisgender flag is depicted using black, and variations of gray. The heterosexual flag uses black and white (grayscale) to represent "lack of color", as opposed to the LGBT+ flag, which is colorful. Likewise, being Cisgender is the opposite of being Transgender, |
