The whole reason they want 'cis' to be a slur is because they do not want to be named.

The unnamed is the default normal. If you have a label, you are a sub-category. To them, this feels like a downgrade.

But we are all lots of little sub-categories of humans - some with clear and well-known labels, some with fuzzy edges and differing uses. That's OK. There's nothing wrong with being a member of a sub-category of human. That is, in fact, normal. Because there is no singular 'normal' human.

Naming something gives you power over it, and they want to be the ones who have all the power.

@Vopo That doesn't really apply here.

You can't talk about something that doesn't have a name, and they would like us to not talk about them, so I personally feel it does apply here but I respect your perspective all the same.
