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.
