Apparently someone has coined a new word for people who aren?t transgender and who have a socially condoned gender identity. We?re now supposed to call such people cisgender, which sounds a bit like they have cysts or something. The idea is that defining the majority as other than ?normal? or ?default? will make transgender identities seem less like aberrations, and more like equal alternatives. Of course, it?s unclear how much power word games have to change most people?s perceptions.
