I don't personally care about this "issue" at all but I think cis-gender is objectively an aesthetically displeasing word and carries unpleasant Tumblrista connotations here.

I think part of the objection to the use of cis stems from trans still officially being pathologized as a disorder. AFAIK, we don't usually have specific terms for not having specific disorders. There is no word for not schizophrenic or not bulimic or so on. Having a word for the opposite of trans suggests that it's not a psychiatric problem.

This is a good point. I can get using cis-gender in a discussion about transgenderism but otherwise? Eh.
