It's the same as if it were a conversation about race and the terms "black woman" or "white woman" were used to discuss differences, compared to "cis woman" or "trans woman". Yes I don't think we'll agree but I felt that should be clarified as the use of that word often gets misinterpreted.
I shouldn't need further categorisation. I'm a woman, India is a trans woman. Can I ask do you call non trans men cis men?
