cisexual

Cisexual: Neologism managed in journalistic and sociological environments since the early 1990s, introduced by the psychiatrist and sexologist German Wolkmar Sigusch, to define the individual whose sexual identity coincides with their biological sex, as opposed to the transsexual. The prefix cis-derived from the latin means "side here, from our side", as opposed to trans -, "beyond, from the other side". So the Romans spoke of Cisalpine Gaul and the Transalpina.
