I find cis to be an extremely useful term. It very clearly conveys what I am and who I'm interested in. Why wouldn't I embrace it?
It kinda feels like people who don't believe trans women and cis women are interchangeable should be the ones pushing the word, those who say 'trans women are women' surely don't want the slogan to be made meaningless by having cis women as the established term.
That was the point of my meme.
They're trying to use it as a slur but it perfectly captures what I'm trying to say and that pisses them off.
