Trans people are oppressed by having the existence of transgenderism denied, so by calling yourself cisgender, you are acknowledging the existence of transgenderism and countering that oppression. But Black people are oppressed by having the existence of race affirmed and exaggerated, so by calling yourself White, you are emphasizing race and exacerbating that oppression.
From what I’ve seen on the SJ side, they’ve done a lot to make white into a marked state (in other words, white people being referred to as white) rather than whiteness being an implied default.
