What does "cisqueer" mean in LGBTQ+ slang?
The term "cisqueer" refers to a person who is cisgender (their gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth) and who also identifies as queer in terms of sexuality or romantic orientation. The structure is a compound of "cis" (cisgender) and "queer," used to indicate both gender alignment and non-heterosexual identity. It is an informal term used in some LGBTQ+ communities and online spaces to distinguish cisgender queer people from transgender queer people.
Examples
