Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

so, what would you do if someone referred to you as a ciswoman (and your job didn't depend on it)?

this is a genuine WWYD. I belong to a church. I'm very happy there, and enjoy working in the social justice group. But the leader is very nice, very liberal (as far as they can be while working with a traditional CofE group of people). I just know at some point they'll start talking about women as ciswomen.
I would object, and leave the group if my objection isn't acted on. But would that mean that I was being an arse, or just lucky (unlike those in paid employment where this crops up) to be able to do it?

I would say it's a term I don't feel comfortable with and as it's cisgender please don't misgender me on conversation.

I think I be deliberately obtuse if my job depended on me not offending transwoman. ''cis woman, you mean I was born with female sex organs and had the experience of growing up female???? is that what you mean???''

It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest but I’m in the minority here.
