I like to think of it as gay and trans hipsters thinking being straight is too mainstream.

he sways their passions with his words and soothes their hearts."

Cisgender is just the term for being the same gender and born sex. It's like the "heterosexual" of gender identity, and recent efforts to bring it as a term into the public consciousness stem from a desire to (rightly or wrongly) make non-cis individuals seem less alien. The point being that we all have a gender identity, it's just that some of us don't have one that matches our born sex.
I've literally never heard anyone unironically use the term cis-scum, and I basically live on tumblr. Either you're all terrible at following blogs you enjoy reading, or you're seeking out offense in order to indulge in outrage just as badly as any 14 year old liberal. Do you genuinely expect young teenagers not to be radical and have unpolished philosophies? There's no shortage of apathy in the world, and unless you're expecting everyone to come into politics with a fully formed and finalised set of beliefs, your reactions aren't overly constructive.
