cisumo

Cisumo is a term that has emerged in certain online communities, particularly those discussing gender identity. It is often used to describe individuals who identify as cisgender and also hold specific political or social views, typically aligned with conservative or traditional ideologies. The term is a portmanteau, combining "cisgender" with "sumo," a reference to the Japanese sport of sumo wrestling, which is often perceived as a traditional and hierarchical practice.

The use of "cisumo" is not widely recognized in academic or mainstream discourse on gender and identity. It appears to have originated and gained traction within specific internet subcultures where it serves as an in-group label. Those who use the term may do so to express solidarity or to identify with a particular set of values and experiences.

It is important to note that the term is not a formal identity category and its usage is confined to certain online spaces. Like many neologisms, its meaning and application can vary depending on the context and the individuals using it. The term is not generally used by individuals who identify as cisgender as a self-descriptor in broader social contexts.
