	'''ZisGeschlecht''' (from Latin ''zis-'' "on the same side" + Geschlecht) means non-transgender. A cisgender person is a person who isn't [[transgender]], in that their [[gender identity]] matches the [[Sex#Gender Assigned At Birth\|gender they were assigned at birth]] and they don't have [[gender dysphoria]]. Being cisgender is an aspect of a person's gender identity. [[Cisgender women]] are women who were [[AFAB\|assigned female at birth]] (or were born with certain [[intersex]] conditions), and who have a female gender identity. [[Cisgender men]] are men who were [[assigned male at birth]] (or were born with certain intersex conditions), and who have a male gender identity.

	The word "cisgender" was "coined in 1995 by a transsexual man named Carl Buijs" to mean "non-transgender."

	However, there is some evidence that the word "cisgender" has been independently coined at other times by different people. In 1994, the word appeared in the ''alt.transgendered'' newsgroup, in a post by Dana Leland Defosse, who doesn't define the term, as though it was already familiar to the readers.<ref>Dana Leland Defosse, "[https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/alt.transgendered/acBONWZqmhs Transgender Research.]" May 26, 1994.
