A new word
I had never seen this word until this morning.
"cisgender"

Yep, IMHO a term used for a "Normal" human being: One whose gender identity corresponds with their birth sex.
Interestingly, and having some background in biology, I was taught human sex was determined at birth and chromosomes the final determinant. Have yet to see anyone offer genuine conclusive proof past teaching were wrong.

I agree with the second part of your post. The first part however is a little more complicated. A cisgender person who identifies with the sex they were born with can still be attracted to only someone of the same sex. Biology taught me the reason for two sexes was to facilitate procreation and the continuation of the species. So I would argue that perhaps using the word "normal" in this case might be stretching the point a bit. We can perhaps be tolerant of some ones lifestyle and still not consider it normal in a biological sense. Bob

I have a nephew who's 4. When he grows up he wants to be a dump truck. Because he's 4. And hilarious. And a boy.
His 'Y' chromosome makes him a 'he'. And that part about loving dump trucks.
Gender is binary. Anyone who thinks otherwise can go pound sand.
You better start saving up for those tires when he turns into a dump truck(those aren't getting any cheaper)! Apparently he CAN if he just really WANTS it!(green font) Remember, these are the people who are all about the "science" until the science doesn't go along with their agenda!

I don't know, maybe you should be worried. Since he is a boy perhaps it would be more appropriate if he wanted to be a front end loader! You know, being a filler and not a receiver. 😁
And yes, your gender is binary comment is right on. Bob

When you accept mental illness as normal, you have to make up all manner of things to address the effects. This is one of those things.

My 1911-A1 is ciscalibered a .45 but some days it identifies as a .22 so it's cheaper to use, even though it still looks and acts the same.

It's a Latin prefix meaning "on this side." Its opposite is "trans." It's used in chemistry for certain compounds.
Our LGBTQ friends have done us a great service by drawing on their diverse, sophisticated backgrounds to think up a name that classifies all of us.
We cannot accept this generosity unless we think up a name for them.

I was going to draw from my organic chemistry background to point this out............you beat me to it.
Good post SoreShoulder.
