How do you pronounce cisgendered?
I’ve been pronouncing it like “size-gendered”, but now I’m hearing it may be “seize-gendered” or “siss-gendered”. Or is there another option? I almost never hear this word, I only read it.

Wikipedia says the pronunciation is ”/‘sɪsdʒɛndər/”, therefore “siss-gendered” is correct.
Siss-gendered. It’s not a word many people use. I use it a lot.
sis-gendered.
whenever you see “cis” as a separate word, it usually means “same” and it is pronouced “sis”. You see it a lot in organic chemistry too.
@seekingwolf I read it almost every day, but almost never hear it out loud.
@Aethelflaed No worries. I didn’t hear it until I had to take organic chemistry and then I heard it everyday for a year. Lol. It’s definitely “sis”. Say it otherwise and people will get confused, lol.
I pronounce it “siss-gendered” – good to know I actually have it correct, lol.
I don’t. I haven’t heard it. What does it mean?
@Sunny2 Individuals who have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth, their bodies, and their personal identity; those who are not transgendered.
I’ve always pronounced it as “siss-gendered”
@Aethelflaed Thank you. I didn’t know there was a word for that.
