Hey man, cis doesn't mean anything besides you identify with your given gender at birth. Just like male/female are useful terms for communication, we have a term for that. In fact, cis isn't even just for that. It's just Latin meaning you're in the same side of something. For example: cisalpine, meaning on this side of the alps (the side of Italy). No reasonable person would be offended by the term. It's been used for over 100 years in this way. The only reason to be offended is if you're told to be offended.

-sincerely: a cis-gendered man
