I do! Cis, like trans comes from the dead language I was forced to learn at school - Latin.

It means - on this side of or on the same side as. Trans is the opposite prefix meaning across from or on the other side of. People are using correct language in saying this. If it upsets you when they say it to you personally then I would say something like 'I understand that is the correct language but I don't like being referred to using that term, just female is fine'

You could also say biological or XX female if you liked but people rarely need to know this, just say who you want to be known as. It's your Identity and only you can say who you are.
