Agreed. I’ve no idea what u/vegantomato@lemmy.world is talking about. I’m pretty sure I’ve personally never seen it used as a slur. What I’ve seen is people not knowing what it means and assuming it’s one of them there evil genders, so maybe some people think it’s meant as a slur, but imo that says more about their ignorance than the word itself.
I’ve only heard it used with negative connotations or least with a little stink on it, example: “Cis white men…”. It’s generally never been ok to point out someone’s sex, gender or race when describing or especially complaining about them.
Interesting, I’ve only ever seen it mean “not trans”
