Cistrans is a broad term for anyone who may identify as both cisgender and transgender for whatever reason. This label is mainly used within the intersex community, but is not an exclusively intersex term. It is a term for anyone who feels they are both cisgender and transgender simultaneously or separately. A very common use of the term is when an intersex person is not perceived as their AGAB due to being intersex. This term is not related to the TERF psyop 'biotrans', or related terms created to mock the trans community.

In the 2023 Gender Census, 7 people out of 40,375 participants identified as cistrans.[1]

Examples of reasons someone may identify as cistrans are:
- An intersex person whose identity & lived experience does not fall nicely on the cis & trans binary.
- A multigender person who identifies with both the gender they were assigned and another gender.
- A genderfluid person who identifies as both cisgender or transgender depending on the point in time.
- A person whose lived experience does not align with cisgender or transgender experience for some other reason.
- A varioformic person who identifies with their assigned gender.
- A gender-nonconforming person who may be questioning whether or not they are transgender
- A person who identifies with the isogender, absgender, or cusper identities may also identify with cistrans.
- A person who is transgender but was already born with the correct matching body (such as identifying as a transgender female or transgender male, but already being born in a feminine-aligned body or a masculine-aligned body).
