    '''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.

    Cistrans or transcis, sometimes named as trancis or trisgender, or simply tris, 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 the 'transid/transx' equivalent, or related terms created to mock the trans community.

    History[edit | edit source]

    One of the possibly first uses of cis-trans was by Tumblr user arco-pluris on April 2018.[1][2]

    The term trisgender and its flag were created by DeviantArt user 67plus-genders on February 3, 2018, suggested by manga-lover3.[3]

    The terms cransgender and trinsgender and their flag were coined by Tumblr user sanrio-kotto on April 5, 2022.[4]

    In the 2023 Gender Census, 7 people out of 40,375 participants identified as cistrans.[5]

    Examples of use[edit | edit source]

    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, metagender, or cusper identities may also identify with cistrans.
