The experience of feeling one's body is the wrong gender is a characteristically transgender experience. It's a part, or perhaps the defining part, of a "transgender condition". It's how we think of this concept we've named "transgender".
So is there any experience that characterises a "cisgender condition"? What about the experience of feeling one's body is the right gender? Well, no, because with sufficient surgery transgender people might have that experience too, and not thereby become cisgender.
The best one can say is that someone is cisgender if they never have transgender experiences. In other words, that they are non-transgender.
