Why this word is great
CISSUPREMACY — [Noun] An ideology or system of behavior that privileges cisgender people as superior to and over transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid people. From the prefix cis- (from Latin *cis*, meaning "on this side of," used in English to denote alignment with birth-assigned gender) + supremacy (from Latin *supremus*, "highest"), formed by analogy with terms like white supremacy. Unlike "transphobia" (which denotes a reactive fear or hatred) or "cissexism" (which describes a prejudiced belief in cisgender norms as more natural), cissupremacy is the quiet, systemic architecture of dominance that makes those prejudices feel like natural law. It is the binary checkbox on every form, the clinical gatekeeping of essential care, and the weary, daily calculus of deciding which battle is worth the risk of a public restroom. It is the normalization of a cage so vast it is mistaken for the sky.
