Case in point, If someone found either of them offensive would you cease using them?

Yes? I mean, I’ve mostly stopped using African American since Black is becoming preferred. I stopped using Oriental. I guess not if someONE found it offensive, but if less offensive terms were becoming the norm, I’d use those.

Exactly this. At the moment, trans girls and cis girls are well-defined and commonly used and accepted.

The use of the term cisgender or the prefix cis- to refer to individuals whose gender identity matches their biological sex is not required but can be helpful in avoiding ambiguity when discussing transgender issues. That said, we do not have a code of acceptable gender-related expressions and do not wish to referee terminology. Please be considerate of the feelings of others and avoid needless provocation when using gender-related terms. If you feel others are using gender-relating terms or expressions improperly and you wish to correct them, please do so in a civil manner.
