    As the OED definitions note, however, the term has a long history prior to its wider cultural adoption. The OED officially cites a 1994 post to the Usenet newsgroup alt.transgendered by user Dana Leland Defosse as the term’s origin. (English)

    I Coined The Term 'Cisgender' 29 Years Ago. Here's What This Controversial Word Really Means. (English)
    It began innocently enough. I was in graduate school and writing a paper on the health of trans adolescents. I put a post on alt.transgender to ask for views on transphobia and inclusion on the campus of the University of Minnesota. I was struggling because there did not seem to be a way to describe people who were not transgender without inescapably couching them in normalcy and making transgender identity automatically the “other.” (English)
