cissukupuolisuuteen

Cissukupuolisuus, sometimes translated as cisgender, refers to a person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone who was assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman is cisgender. Similarly, someone assigned male at birth who identifies as a man is also cisgender. The term is used to distinguish this experience from that of transgender individuals, whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth. It is a common gender identity, experienced by the majority of the population. Understanding cissukupuolisuus is important for fostering an inclusive society that respects diverse gender identities. The prefix "cis" is Latin for "on the same side," contrasting with the prefix "trans," which means "across" or "on the other side."
