If this is how you talk to sympathetic people, how are you ever going to convert the hostile? Work on your message. And at least for the next 5-10 years until everyone has one, cut some slack for the line "I have trans friends." Maybe someday that will be irrelevant but I don't think it's irrelevant today.
You know why the word cis-women grinds my gears. The prefix sounds like "cyst" every time I read it. It's not too late to pick something else, I doubt more than 5% of the population has ever heard it. Marketing matters.
