Cis fatigue

The fatigue a trans or nonbinary person feels after having to defend or explain their personhood and identity to a cis (cisgender) person.

Person A: Isn’t that the sixth time your supervisor has misgendered you?
Person B: Yeah, and it’s the sixth time today I’ve had to correct her on my pronouns; I feel like she’s never going to get them right. I have so much cis fatigue right now.
