Cis is a term that has been imposed on people whose gender is consistent with their birth gender. It's a horrible sounding word and sounds like sissy so it's very inappropriate. Alternatives like birth gender and biological gender are contested and clumsy. So how about using the Arabic word for "consistent" which sounds rather nice: "thabit"?

No thank you.

I'm fine with woman. I don't feel I need an extra qualifier. If others do then fine, but if we're all respecting how people want to self describe, then I'd like the same principle.
