Cisgender, or simply cis, indicates one identifies strongly with the gender roles and concepts most frequently associated with their assigned sex at birth. Cis is often considered the more politically correct term to describe the concepts of ''heteronormative behavior'', as it encapsulates those same behaviors, but without the assumption that those behaviors are or should be the societal norm, or that other expressions of gender are assumed to be abnormal.

Cisgender, or simply cis, indicates one identifies strongly with the gender roles and concepts most frequently associated with their assigned sex at birth. Cis is often considered the more politically correct term to describe the concepts of heteronormative behavior, as it encapsulates those same behaviors, but without the assumption that those behaviors are or should be the societal norm, or that other expressions of gender are assumed to be abnormal.
