It's always seemed like an insult to me. What gets me is the weirdo beta soys who are ok with it. I saw one of them in London being interviewed on the Lotus Eaters podcast. "Are you someone who strongly identifies as male or female?" "Uh, yeah I'm just a cis male but I'm totally ok with transgender people." I just about puked.
Don't forget all that 'die cis scum' messagingput out by these clowns. The troon brigade absolutely intends these terms to be used as slurs against normal people too, often accompanied by violent fantasizing.
Interestingly enough, that's also how I feel about "bub." I was called that once, and I did not take it well. Because the only person I'd ever heard use that was Wolverine, towards people he is not exactly acting friendly with.
Interesting. I've only had one guy call me that (it may have been "bubs", I don't remember), but the context made it obvious that it was friendly. I can certainly see the term being used in a hostile way as well. Cis is always used with the intention of othering the target, so there's no ambiguity for that term.
Most words can be said in a positive or negative way. Nimrod was an erudite scholar, but calling someone Nimrod nowadays will likely get a hostile reaction thanks to Bugs Bunny of all people.
The people those terms supposedly refer to never consented to being referred to as such. Yes, they're definitely slurs.

It's like if a black guy called himself a nigger with a hard r.
Was it Leo? I hate that degenerate retard.

Elon also pointed out that the person who started to use cis was a creepy german pedo sexologist.
Which one? I was thinking John Money but he was a Kiwi I think.
its in the top reply if you click the tweet
They are also never used to just refer to normal people but always in a negative or an attack against normal people.

Exactly . If a term is always used to refer to someone negatively you can’t claim it’s not a slur
