Pronunciation: /ˈsɪsi/

name

  1. A diminutive of the female given name Cicely.

noun

Etymology: From cis(gender) + -y, on the analogy of tranny and punning on sissy.

  1. A cisgender or cissexual person.

    > Cis- is a Latin prefix meaning "on this side" or, less correctly, "near", as opposed to trans-, Latin for "across" or "through". Gee, I guess that makes most folks cissies! :-)

    "She could be a straight cissy who just had a bunch of plastic surgery done," Tabitha said. A cissy was a 'cisgendered' person, someone who wasn't transsexual, someone happy with being and dressing like whatever gender they were born as.
