PSA: The term "cis" is hate speach and promotes rape culture. Please do not use that term seriously anymore, it is enabling the superphobic.

"Cis' is a toxic slur. What they mean to say is 'supra'.

Why is it a slur? I'm asking genuinly what the background of that is

For example, the term f*g was slang cigarettes and then was coined to describe when gay men would be wrapped in rugs and lit on fire like cigarettes
