Cis comes from the Latin prefix meaning |
"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. It's possible that the term was independently coined elsewhere. |
