The Term "Cissexual" Was Coined By Pedophile Sympathizer Volkmar Sigusch Who Said "Good Sex Can Be Anything"

Many people have recently become accustomed to using the term "cisgender," which has morphed from the original term "cissexual" originally coined by sexologist Volkmar Sigusch.

The increasing popularity of the transgender movement has resulted in non-trans people being widely labeled as cisgender. We've been told that if we identify with the sex that was "assigned to us at birth," we are cisgender. Many find this definition to be absurd, though, as it suggests our biological sex is not something we're born with, but rather something that doctors "assign" to us, sometimes incorrectly. TikToker @heyitsjuderose posted a video detailing why she refuses to use the term cisgender anymore.

The Term Cissexual Was Coined by Pedophile Sympathizer Volkmar Sigusch, Who Said, "Good Sex Can Be Anything"

Volkmar Sigusch was born in 1940 and became a renowned sexologist and physician who played a big role in the 1960s sexual revolution. He was the director of the Institute for Sexual Science at the clinic of Goethe University in Frankfurt. He was a writer and editor for cultural magazines that focused on sex and psychology. @heyitsjuderose called him a "pedo sympathizer" in her video and pointed out that he's the first person on record to coin the term cisgender "as an antonym to transgender." However, Sigusch actually coined the term cissexual as an antonym to transgender. The term cissexual first came up in a peer-reviewed paper called "The Neosexual Revolution." Sigusch is also "credited as some kind of pioneer for the LGBTQ movement" as well as the sexual revolution in general. (It should be noted that the word cisgender, which has become the preferred term, was allegedly coined by Dana Defosse, PhD, a retired research and physician educator, in 1994 when she was a graduate student.)

In a 2011 interview, Sigusch was asked how he would define good sex. "That's where I agree with Woody Allen: Good sex can be anything, including dirty," he replied. Woody Allen, a famous Hollywood director, married his adopted daughter when he was 61 and she was 26. Reportedly, she was 21 when they started having sexual relations, but Allen has been accused of abusing other adopted children, including Dylan Farrow, who claimed she was only seven years old when he sexually molested her in the home of her adopted mother (and Allen's ex-wife) Mia Farrow. He denied the claims.

It's curious that Sigusch would refer to Woody Allen to define good sex, when he could have said literally anything else. In that same interview, Sigusch was asked what the biggest taboo is in sexuality today. He answered, "Clearly child sexuality, including everything that goes with it – pedophilia, pedosexuality."

He spoke about the importance of approaching pedophiles and offering them therapy. "It's been my experience that you can reach your objective with what I would call kind-hearted, informed and enlightened patients – in the sense that they don't lose their desire, but that they no longer have physical contact with children," he continued.

"Today, these people call themselves MAPs, or minor-attracted persons, and they pride themselves on not offending. Eventually, the modern sexual revolution will make room for these people and claim that pedophiles are just misunderstood," @heyitsjuderose said in her TikTok.

TikToker @beckyperry166 created a stitch and added some thoughts about all the early proponents of gender theory and transgenderism, such as John Money: "Why are they all pedos? It's honestly really, really insane."

However, it's also worth noting that when asked how society should handle pedophiles, Sigusch said, "In accordance with the law. There is no other way to answer the
question. We are all potential murderers, and we are all potential
rapists and abusers."

Sigusch, who believes that humans aren't biologically wired to be limited to one monogamous partner, predicts that the future will have "other forms in addition to our classic marriage," such as polyamory or having multiple sexual partners. "In other words, you're married to a woman who has no objection to another woman joining the couple. Then she brings in her boyfriend. Suddenly you realize – my God! – you can love more than one person. In fact, you can love several people at the same time," he said.
