To wonder what the point of cisgender is?

I’ve just read an article where cisgender is described as “someone who identifies as the sex they were assigned at birth”. Is this an actual thing? Why is this even given a label? Surely if you were born male or female and you live as a male or female then this is what you “identify” as. (If you even feel the need to identify as anything, rather than just living your life as you).

It seems like everything must be given a label these days. The worlds gone fucking mad.

This is the whole point .
You can be male and wear a skirt and make up.
You can be female and have a skin head and not wear make up.
We need to stop labelling people .
If you are born a male and want to have sex with another man, that does not make you a woman. It shouldn't allow you access to female only spaces.

Apparently, a lot of transwomen don't want to have sex with men. They identify as women and lesbians and consider it transphobic for a natal female lesbian not to want to have sex with them.
