well the whole point is to make all of it "normal". it's normal for humans to be cis, yes, and so is to be trans. so instead of calling people "trans" and "normal", you call them "trans" and "cis".
and make no mistake, that's why people oppose the term "cis". they want to other trans people, and normalizing the term threatens the system of oppression.
That's the obvious motivation, my comment is to illustrate how the frustration could be relatable and to humanize everyone involved. For those people who don't value their freedoms the entire idea is just an inconvenience.
