Yes, particularly when discussing topics such as cissexual privilege.

Additionally, other terms - such as woman/man born woman/man, genetic boy/girl, bio girl/boy - tend to imply trans identities as being less real, natural and/or desirable. The use of "cis-" helps to eliminate hierarchical implications of other commonly used terms.
