I'd rather have a more honed argument than what I provided. I hate the arrogance and presumptiveness and bubble-world aspects of "don't say 'cis' because normal is just normal" 
style arguments so I'm seeing red here.

Cis people are anything but normal. No group that contains such a vast number of utter perverts who obsess over what random strangers could have in their pants deserves that designation. Nobody who has seen how unbelievably weird these freaks can get as soon as a trans person happens to merely exist in their vicinity would ever call cis people as a group normal.
The sheer arrogance of that poster comparing cis "normality" to sunrise versus the rise of other stars really pissed me off. That user's bubble world is apparently light years away from trans people.
I also love how he feels called out for being boring just because gay and trans people exist.
There's even a tiny hint of potential chaser in that word choice: that user as default/normal ("boring") and maybe seeking excitement from distant exotic (but still otherfied) beings.
