How many women (or men) identify as cisgender?

485 replies

On another forum, I said "Most women don't identify as cisgender, and many feel that describing them as such is disrespectful". Someone has asked me for evidence of this. I think it's probably true, but I haven't seen any statistics or even estimates of numbers. I'm interested in any evidence or arguments which would either support or refute my statement.

Female or woman. I don't need any other description, thanks and would strongly object to anyone calling me cis.

Nope! I’m not a subset of woman because there’s only way to be a woman and that’s to be born a human female

I'm pretty laid back ... but if I was referred to as a CIS woman I would be offended as fuck!

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I honestly think the majority of people wouldn’t either.

Isn't CIS what you are born with? If so, then yes

I don't.

I would suspect most don't know what it means or why it is used.

I think most women don't know what cisgender even means.

I think, but have no evidence for, that most women who do know what it means either (a) don't much care or (b) are insulted. I think the women who happily describe themselves this way, fully understanding the implications, are not a majority I've, but may be among different age profiles.
