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