This term is also used by binary individuals as a replacement for the term ’skoliosexual‘, which is used to convey the exclusive attraction to transgender individuals, more specifically non-binary individuals. Cisgender: A person who feels as if their biological sex matches their gender identity.(Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning “to/this the near side,” which is antonymous with the Latin-derived prefix trans).
This system of oppression assumes that being cisgender is inherently normal and superior and negates transgender individuals’ lives and relationships.
At times, being in the closet also means not wanting to admit one’s sexual identity to oneself.
