#cisplus

(note: this was originally coined by pawkips/rotcoric, on a blog which has since been terminated. the archive is here. this post will only contain plaintext.)

A term for to those who identify completely as cisgender, plus additional genders. One doesn’t feel partially cis, one isn’t fluid - one is entirely cis, plus more. One may not know specifically what the additional gender / genders are, so cis+ may be the best way to describe it. Or, one may have a lot of genders, but they all feel like they are simply additional to one’s cis identity.

Once, I wrote a post about how much gender dysphoria I had when I was presenting as non-binary, and how this made me realize I was a binary cis girl. And a terf came onto the post and told me outright that I shouldn't use the term "gender dysphoria" when talking about myself, because that legitimizes the experiences of trans women.
