One liner as to why "cis" is objectionable please!

I hate the term. I hate to see women blithely reduce themselves to being a subset of women.

But I know I've read more reasons as to why it is not an ok term to use. So can you share your one liners or even two liners (they need to be simple enough that I can remember and re-use them).

Thanks!

Cis implies I identify with the sexist stereotypes associated with my sex. I don't.

Also, because the word woman has meaning which is "Adult Human Female" I reject a needless prefix.

Because a woman is not a non-man.

Woman is fine just as it is....doesn't need any pre, cis shit.
I'm a woman - that's about it really.

I don't think cis people are allowed to self ID

They can never answer why not though without stunning and brave trans ideology bluster.

Because “woman” is accurate all on its own.

'I don't identify as any gender'.

Because it's not my identity/I don't "identify" as "cis"

I don't think cis people are allowed to self ID

Because it's not my identity/I don't "identify" as "cis"

Respect my identity and right to self define!
