A better way to articulate that would be something along the lines of "gender assigned at birth" or "biological sex".

Hm, maybe I was misunderstanding the meaning of "cis". Biological sex means to me the actual chromosomes, which don't change in trans people (at least until there is some genetic therapy available). I'll go with the Wikipedia's suggested "sex assigned at birth", but I don't feel like any of these fully transmits what I wanted to say. Interesting.
