I find this definition particularly offensive to women.

And yes I agree on the woman part. The cost of conformity is high for women (as is non-conformity).

I agree and this is also the reason why I used the term cissexed in my opening statement and the poll.
I put cisgendered in the tags because that term is often used in place of cissexed.
