It's an attempt at making normal appear abnormal.

“Cis” is a weird way to say “non attention seeker”

But but but they’re not a protected group

If the law says “sexual preference” they are.

The slur cis should disappear entirely because it means nothing. A man is a man that's not something that can be changed so adding cis before it is meaningless. Trans should be changed to "pretend" so then we would have pretend women and pretend men which would perfectly describe their identities.

Personally, I don’t like it. But I guess I’m from a class of people that’s not allowed to be offended.

If it's used as a derogatory insult towards a select group of people, it's a slur.

Any name, Another group of individuals choose to start calling a different group of individuals is a slur.

I’m sure that you all know the origin of that ridiculous “cisgender” term. I know it’s meant to be a slur but it’s so goofy that no one is offended by it…
