      CIS isn’t an acronym? What? (Non-native)

        An acronym is a word which is formed by the first letters of a name for something, such as “laser” (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) or “radar” (RAdio Detecting And Ranging).

        “Cis” isn’t that. It’s a Latin word which is the opposite of “trans”.

          I thought it was one… something like child identified sex but I stand corrected it’s not that at all… thanks
