	Cisgender (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Cisgender (cis-, "on this side of, not across;" compare cisatlantic, cisalpine) is a neologism meaning "not transgender," that is, having a gender identity or performing in a gender role that society considers appropriate for one's sex.
		Cisgender can be used in place of less accurate terms such as biological or genetic male or female since transgender people are also "biologically" (and not made from some non-biological material), while the "genetically"-argument fails when one considers the genetic variations present in intersex people.
		The origination and use of cisgender can be compared to the reclamation of profane words and hate speech, such as nigger and queer.

	Welcome to The Bleachedskulls Homepage
		When we say that a person is a man we usually don't just mean he has a penis, we are referring to an entire identity; this is why we have concepts about 'true men' and different levels of manliness and masculinity, because it isn't something you are just by being male.
		Cisgender is what most people are; it refers to those that fit into our ideas about the relationship between sex and gender.
		A person that is both male and a man is Cisgendered, and a person that is both female and a woman is Cisgendered.

	Donna's Philosophy
		Her article is titled About Sex and Gender and in it she challenges the cisgender ideal with the notion that ‘sex’ (body parts) and ‘gender’ (identity) are not inexorably linked.
		The Cisgender Ideal is rooted in the notion that gender is a binary system: meaning that there are two fairly rigid categories — ‘men’ and ‘women’ — and anything else is unthinkable.
		The Cisgender Ideal is a philosophy — a belief system ingrained in our society — and for this reason, it is dangerous.

		A complete (re-)construction of a penis is done on both cisgendered men who have lost their penis through either illness or accidents, and transmen, that is, female-to-male transgendered or transsexual people.
		The basic procedures are the same, although surgery on cisgendered men is usually a lot simpler, since the urethra still ends in the front of the genital area, whereas the urethra of transmen ends near the vaginal opening and has to be lengthened considerably.
		The lengthening of the urethra is the most difficult part of phalloplasty, and also the one where most complications occur.
