Cis people are people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. It's basically anyone that isn't transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.

It matters in this contect because while transgender people can advocate for their own rights, they don't have the leverage needed to succeed unless cisgender (cis) people help.

    No but why should I, why is this the most important problem that should consume my time and energy, while there are 1000 of other global problems. Mass starvation, war, poverty, racism, anti trans, Eco terrorism, getting fucked by politicians. What is so bad in new York for trans people, is it forbidden to be trans, I actually don't know because I don't live there, but it seems like it has a healthy community?
