inspired from the concept of heteronormativity, cis(gender)normativity can be defined as "the normative dimension of the dominant cisgenderist system, which understands people who identify with the gender and sex assigned to them at birth as more normal than those people who decide to live as another gender and/or transition.” this dominant normative system promotes negative judgments, discrimination, and violence towards trans people while erasing their experiences and realities. the concept of cisgendernormativity is a neologism referring to the specific normativity of cisgender and cissexual identities. it is, therefore, a reference to a cis normativity tied to one's gender.
