cisnainen

Cisnainen is a term used to describe a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth. The prefix "cis" comes from Latin and means "on the same side." Therefore, a cisgender woman is a woman who identifies as a woman and was assigned female at birth. This is in contrast to the term "transgender," which describes individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.

The concept of cisgender and transgender is used to differentiate between individuals based on the relationship between their gender identity and their assigned sex. It acknowledges that gender identity is a personal and internal sense of self, which may or may not align with biological sex characteristics or societal expectations. The term cisnainen is primarily used within discussions about gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, and in contrast to transgender identities. It is not meant to imply any superiority or special status, but rather to provide a neutral descriptor for a common experience of gender. Understanding the distinction between cisgender and transgender experiences is important for fostering inclusivity and respect for all individuals' gender identities.
