what does cisgendered stand for anyway ...

[Celeste]

Xsqueeze me please:

I know I have been ignoring political boohaha for so long ...

I never have known what

cis stands for when people write

cisgendered

Definition?

Explanation?

TLAs (three letter acronyms - the bane of existence)

[Celeste]

Who in their right mind would pay attention to much of any thing according
to the gospel or otherwise of L. M. Blasters, the blatherer? My imaginary
visions of LMB tend toward nightmares of remembering Ruby Rodd ...

Thanks ...

I think I will start calling myself cisgendered ...

[Celeste]

So why did NASA call them "translunar injection burn" during the Apollo
missions?

So are you also saying that LMB is a translunatic? (grin)

In conclusion, lets see, I am cisgendered, transsexed (note past tense), and
loving every minute of it.

CIS... WOW!, <slapping forehead and exclaiming "I could have had a
V-8..." >
You're right. That just triggered memories of my high school Latin and
Ceasar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, as in CisAlpine Gaul and
TransAlpine Gaul.

You didn't get it. I was trying to make point.

I have always been one gender, so I must be cisgendered.

It was only the sex that needed a little touch up work.

Hence Me:

cisgendered
transsexed ...

Aahhhh

[RosePress]

Dear Celeste,

>cisgendered

The explanation is actually -- Celestial. "Translunar" space is space beyond
the orbit of the moon. "Cislunar" is inside the orbit of the moon. So if dey
aint Trans, dey must be Cis, no?

In molecular biology, the _cis_ version of a molecule twists
in one direction, the _trans_ version twists the other. The
same elements, but slightly different geometries. This is
generally only a big deal in life sciences. Consider
dextrose and laevulose: same sugar, different twist.

Which brings us to the subject of crullers.....

Laura attributes the term "cisgendered" (meaning non-transgendered) to
an FTM named Carl Buijs who she says originated the term in a
newsgroup discussion in late 1995. However, you will see occasional
references to it in earlier medical literature, so I don't know who
really thunk it up. Somehow, although it makes sense, it doesn't have
a "ring" to it in my mind. But words are not my forte -- in fact, I
don't know what my forte is and have about given up looking for it.

It comes from the Latin, as in Gaul Cisalpinae, meaning middle. So a
person who is cisgendered is transgendered or ts.

I think, all-in-all, I'd have been a bit happier to have been able to trade
some of the former for some of the latter. :-)
