People think ‘cis’ is a slur because that's how they think about and use ‘trans‘, as a slur.

Yup. It's very much like how 20 years ago there were straight people complaining about being called straight. They'd say things like, "I'm not straight, I'm normal! “

38 years ago when we were campaigning for homosexual law reform, I heard heterosexuals objecting to "heterosexual".

Denial of sexual orientation then, denial of gender identity now.
