Cis-ter

"Even after legally transitioning ... I would still be expected to get a letter from a mental health professional if I wanted to go up a cup size," explained [Claire] Bow. "Cis-ters just need to sign the consent form. It sometimes feels like I'm expected to prove I'm a real person to everyone in the world, one person at a time."

We recognize that there is no feminism without intersectionality, and strive to support all our sisters, not just our cis-ters.

Trans women in particular share the gendered experiences of their cis-ters by being subject to higher rates of sexual assault and abuse.
