To add, cisgender is not that new of a word, it's been around since the 90s in English. Using the term "biological male/female" is an immidate red flag as it carries with it the insinuation that trans identities are not ligitimate; you could just say "not trans." Hence the heavy use by right wingers and bigots.

Specifically transphobes prefer saying biological this and that rather than use a trans persons gender identity as a way to purposefully invalidate them
