More broadly, cissexism is the appeal to norms that enforce the gender binary, and gender essentialism, resulting in the oppression of gender variant, non-binary and trans identities. Anybody who does not pass and/or identify as cis faces some cissexism.SJWiki, r. Feb 7, 2021.
In a multi-level analysis of society, "cissexism" can be used to describe the erasure, oppression, and marginalisation of non-binary and trans identities that happens at the institutional and cultural levels (the two topmost ways of looking at the system). This is in contrast to "transphobia", which can be used to describe the violence, oppression, and abuse of non-binary and trans identities at the two lower levels, i.e., individual, group.SJWiki, r. Feb 7, 2021.
Cissexism can also be used as an umbrella term for all forms of transphobia and cis supremacy. It is related to, but not identical to gender binarism and dyadism.SJWiki, r. Feb 7, 2021.
