My own personal bias is that I love the term "cis" and find it very useful, but then I'm a genderqueerish geek with a bio/chem background, so I would.
1. "Cis" sounds like you are calling me a sissy. This makes me want to throw up a little bit.
5. If you call me "cis," that implies that I identify strongly with the way my body is shaped and/or the politics that go with having a particular body shape. I don't object to be being labeled "cis" for the reasons you mention in response to #3 & #4, but I do identify with this statement. However, being gay, genderqueerish, and arguably intersexed, perhaps I don't count for the purposes of your prediction.
...
I have wrestled a bit with the limits of the cis/trans distinction in a theoretical paper on high femme. I think genderqueer is probably a good and already fairly distributed/understood term for this sort of phenomenon. However, I agree that "iso" seems like a good parallel term with reference to cis/trans.
