I'm cis. I'm a cis man with a exclusive sexual interest in cis women. I find the term very helpful to express very clearly who I am and what I want. I can't imagine being so delicate as to lose my shit over being called cis.
I find the word as displeasing as some people find 'moist', but I'm entitled to an opinion. Am I going to wave a sign around and demonstrate over it despite thinking it was promoted for its potential to upset the victim? Of course not: it's just a stupid name and I've been called far worse by better drill sergeants. There's a lot of room in there between disliking something and "losing my shit over" it, and it will help respecting others if you understand that.
Well, there's also a different between "I have a weird visceral reaction to the sound itself" and "I think its equal to the new word" lol
