Without the prefix of "cis," the implication is that "transgender" is in a different bucket as "man" and "woman" meaning that someone who is "trans" is not "man" or "woman." The prefix "cis" allows specific and differentiation of identification of being "male" or "female."
Example:
Caitlyn Jenner was born a man with male body parts and did not identify with those parts or that gender; she is a trans woman.
I was born a woman with female body parts and identify with these parts and this gender; I am a cis woman.

I know about the cis gender label, but like I said earlier it was just a quick post. As far as cis gender, I can understand its use, but I do not like someone telling me what I am and telling me I'm cis gendered man does not describe me.
