Kellys transfriend Jane may identify as woman, but if I wanted to talk about Kelly and Jane and not you, I would have to use the word trans, and if I wanted to talk about you and not Jane or Kelly, I would have to use the word cis. (Regarding its a discussion directly relating to genders as a group).

Its just a helpful little prefix that separates you from Jane should we need to use it.
Trans as you stated means you were previously something other.... A woman wasn't, ergo if you are not a trans woman you are simply a woman. there is no need for any prefix
