Cisgender is a term used to describe individuals whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, a cisgender person identifies with the gender that corresponds to the sex they were assigned at birth (e.g., a person assigned female at birth who identifies as a woman). The term "cisgender" is often used in discussions of gender identity to differentiate between individuals who are not transgender. Cisgender individuals may not have to actively think about or question their gender identity in the same way that transgender individuals might, as their gender identity aligns with societal expectations based on their assigned sex. It is important to recognize and respect the diversity of gender identities and to understand that gender identity is a deeply personal aspect of an individual's identity.
