Banning the term "cis"

Apologies if this had already been done, but can MNHQ consider banning the term "cis", given how horrifically offensive so many users of MN find it?

I don't think I need to set out the background and reasoning to this request (but can do so if it would help!)

I'm with AllTheFluffyAnimals. I'm genuinely puzzled about why people find offence in this.

That's ridiculous. It's not used to piss you off, it's used only in context to describe someone assigned to the gender they identify with because writing cis is quicker.

Being offended by cis is like demanding straight pride day imo.
