Cis-genderless, Cisgenderless, or Cis-By-Default is the act of defaulting to one's assigned gender due to a lack of gendered feeling and possibly a lack of understanding of gender. It is similar in experience to agender, but if asked, a cis-genderless person will give their assigned gender/sex.
For example, an AMAB cis-genderless person will identify themselves as male because they are biologically male and are generally perceived as male, but for no other reasons. For such people, they may not understand the idea of having a "gender identity" that exists apart from physical sex or social gender roles. They do not have any strong attachment to the idea of "manhood". If they were to wake up one day as the opposite sex then they'd likely just start identifying as female.
They have little to no dysphoria regarding their assigned sex. Because of this, cis-genderless may also be defined as someone who is genderless, but uses cis in regards to their sex identity (cissex), rather than as gender identity.[1]
Cis-genderless people generally do not inherently identify as LGBT+ on the basis of their gender. Rather the term is used to define the gender experience (or rather lack of gender experience) that some cisgender people may have. It might also be used to describe an agender person's experience of identifying as cis before discovering non-binary genders.
History
Cis-genderless was first described by AVEN user R_1 on April 21, 2013,[2] distinguishing it from cis people who have a strong gender identity which matches their physical sex.
Flag
The cis-genderless flag was created by AVEN user ixi on August 27, 2015. The white stripe represents genderlessness, the pink stripe represents cis women, blue represents cis men, and purple represents cis intersex people.[3]
Two alternate cis-genderless flags were designed by FANDOM user Unfunny person420 on May 8th, 2021. Both flags have the same colors, but different designs. The light grey stripe represents cisgender people. Off-white represents genderlessness. Pink represents cis-genderless women, blue represents cis-genderless men, and purple represents cis-genderless intersex people.
