This is just another way for transphobes to play victim while terrorizing trans people.

If "straight white male" has become a derogatory term, the people who are responsible for that are straight white males by virtue of their behavior. Regarding "cisgender," Mike Figueredo has it right - just using the descriptor, which is itself entirely neutral, prevents bigots from "other"-izing" trans folks because it eliminates a default position. That's what's behind the entire culture war.
