"cis" is putting overwhelming majority as "subgroup", while it is never done like this.

So if there "table" as group, then subgroups are like "brown table", "wood table", "glass table", "big table".

And "cis woman" is like saying "table table" (or "man man", "woman woman") or "table like all tables", which makes no sense. Even if believe that "chairs are tables" and out of all tables only 0.5% are chars - you can't say about ALL tables as "cis tables", because they are already tables and you can only make subsets of them, "all tables" is not a subset, it is all tables and it does not need special naming. And if they believe that "TWAW"/"TMAM", just "women"/"men" should be enough. Women are not "non-transwomen", men are not "non-transmen", they are women and men.
