This list was inspired by coming across “cisgender”, a totally unnecessary description invented as an opposite of “transgender” and meaning normal, as things should be. Who needs it? But some of the following “trans” substitutes do actually have promise as useful words.
cisact – ignore
ciscend – fail
cisscribe, cisducer, cisfigure, cisform,
cixfix – leave indifferent
cisfuse,
cisgress – behave yourself
ciship, cisistor,
cisit / cislocate / cisport – go nowhere, stay put
cislate, cisliterate, cismigrate, cismit,
cismogrify sounds like it really ought to have a meaning!
cismute,
cisparent – opaque
cispire – inhale
cisplant – a medical term for skin grafts, etc., from one part of the same body to another
cispose / cisubstantiate – leave things as they are
cisexual, cisvestite.
