the conception of transgender and cisgender presupposes that those exist as binary categories, or are even necessary to exist at all.
Well they exist because people actually experience their lives this way. People are assigned a gender at birth that is incorrect, which is what makes them trans. I'd be careful this this line of reasoning, it kind of sounds like that post-gender, gender-blind stuff. Not saying that is the case with you, but I would be critical of those intuitions.
I am of the view that post-gender is a theoretical ideal to slowly meander towards, but doing so now represents significant harm against people who live in a gendered society.
I think the actual lived experience of people is important to consider but not something fixed forever.
