« Cisgender » : différence entre les versions

The words "cis" and "trans" originate from Latin, where they could be translated as "this side of" and "the other side of."  Their usage as antonyms can be seen in a number of fields, such as in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism cis-trans isomerism] in organic chemistry, the so-called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementation_(genetics) cis-trans test] in genetics, or geographic terms such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transjordan_(region) Transjordan] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank#Cisjordan Cisjordan] (the eastern/western side of River Jordan).  The word "cis" is presumably less well known than "trans" since many if not most terms using the word "trans" do not have a logical counterpart using "cis", for instance: ''translate'', ''transform'', ''transatlantic'', ''transpacific'', etc.

In a 1998 essay, sexologist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkmar_Sigusch Volkmar Sigusch] cites his own 1991 article "Die Transsexuellen und unser nosomorpher Blick" ("Transsexuals and our nosomorphic view") as the origin of the term "cissexual,"<ref name=volkmar/> which might be a precursor to "cisgender."
