Here's a nice glossary:http://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender

If you find it confusing, I'd suggest googling "transgender glossary" until you find one that works for you! I personally find glossaries very helpful, as the trans community has a lot of unique vocabulary. These days, I'm pretty fluent in "the language of gender," but we all have to start somewhere. Google is, in this case, my #1 resource.

Cis is LATIN -- "On this side of, within"
