I agree, they do in a way.

But then I totally believe a person could identify as cis one day and trans* or genderqueer on another (or in different phases of their life). I think what I like about the label is that it doesn't posit being trans* or being cis as an absolute. And it emphasizes that we can identify however we see fit, even if others say we can't. To me it's playful and it provokes me to think about my believes and views I suppose, but not in a threatening way.
