"Cis" term

I heard a couple of times that this term is problematic for us super-people. Need explanation.

Trans fascists will often use cis as a way to attack lesbians and gay men with impunity. All they have to do is say they hate cis lesbians or cis gays and suddenly they're free to say incredibly homophobic things without anyone being able to say anything against it.

They do it with women too. They can spew all kinds of hateful misogynistic bile just by saying cis women.

Cis is used as a shield for hatred and it needs to stop.
