CJR: Language Corner

The author of this blog described a term created in a 2009 article called "cisgender" which relates to people who are comfortable in the sex they have been born with. This word is much more specific than heterosexual because it implies the opposite of "transgender" where "trans" means opposite and "cis" comes from the prefix meaning same side. The author also describes when to use transgender, transsexual or gay. It truly gave some valuable insight on when to use certain words that are often questioned.
