Cis-sexual

[edit]

Cis-sexual, a term re-coined in 2020 by a group of guitarists from the West Coast of the United States, is an optional, attachable moniker to all sexualities that is defined as an individual of any gender and/or sexuality who is only attracted to cis-gender people.

Origin

[edit]

Before it's recoinage in 2020, cis-sexual was accepted as a synonym for cisgender. A group of bisexual guitarists, from the obscure rock band "Within the Uncanny Moon", found there, upon extensive research, to be no legitimate identity for those only attracted to cis-gender people. So, with a notary and each other as their witnesses, they declared the word cis-sexual reclaimed, redefining its meaning from a synonym to a sexual preference.
