Answer: cisgender is a male or female who is biologically and emotionally the same gender as they were assigned at birth.

A transgender person is a person who was biologically assigned to one gender, but emotionally are another gender.

Thank you for asking!

Transgender is a broad category referring to anybody whose gender identity, the gender they psychologically feel like they are, doesn't match their assigned sex, the gender defined by their physical traits.

Cisgender and cissexual are the same thing. It is the opposite of transgender. While a transgender person disagrees with their assigned sex, a cisgender/cissexual person identifies as their assigned sex.
