An older piece of LGBT community slang referring to a cisgender woman — someone assigned female at birth who identifies as a woman.
Definitions
An older piece of LGBT community slang referring to a cisgender woman — someone assigned female at birth who identifies as a woman. The term was coined within trans communities in the 1990s and 2000s as a way to distinguish cis women from trans women. However, it's now largely considered offensive or at minimum outdated by many trans people and allies, with 'cis woman' or 'cisgender woman' being the preferred terminology today. Mostly relevant in historical or linguistic discussions.
Back in the day, that forum used 'genetic girl' everywhere, but the community has long since moved on from that language.
