Cisgender/ru: Difference between revisions

A person who isn't [[transsexual]].<ref>"[https://www.susans.org/wiki/Cissexual Cissexual.]" ''Susan's Place Transgender Resource Wiki''</ref> In some contexts, it can be useful to distinguish between cisgender and cissexual, along with distinguishing between transgender and transsexual. This distinction can be useful when talking about nonbinary and [[gender nonconforming]] people. Saying that a person is cissexual "emphasizes that someone is not dealing with the medical and legal aspects of a gender transition"; by contrast, "someone who has a nonbinary gender and [is] not dealing with the medical and legal aspects of a gender transition might call themselves a cissexual genderqueer."<ref>Tobi Hill-Meyer, "[https://nodesignation.wordpress.com/definitions/ Definitions]." ''No Designation'' (personal blog).</ref> Some nonbinary people who transition call themselves transsexual, whereas other nonbinary or genderqueer people who don't transition can call themselves cissexual. (For example, [[Chanda Prescod-Weinstein]] is an "[[agender]] cis-sex woman".)  It is possible to be both transgender and cissexual, if gender and sex are considered to be separate aspects of a person. That said, it is a choice for each person what labels they are comfortable with using for themself, and they may find other ways to label their gender.
