It’s imposing a label on you, whilst simultaneously demanding you accept their self-determined labels. It’s completely unnecessary as the word “normal” already exists, is correct and applies to 99.9% of people. The term cis is a powerplay.

They're hypocritical assholes for sure and I would never call myself Cis. It just isn't the hill I want to die on when they have so many more egregious offenses.

You don't need to "fight" them over this. Just don't refer to yourself as that. If needed, use the word "sex" instead of gender.
