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.
