It's never been a slur, it's literally a scientific term. It would be like getting pissed someone called you a sapian, or a mammal. It's just snowflakes being mad they aren't considered the default, or "normal"
Just like it's not a slur to say retard, dumb, negro, mongoloid, etc.
First of all, if you think dumb is a slur than you deserve to be called dumb. You also deserve to be called dumb for comparing cis to these lol.
So I deserve to be called someone incapable of speech, got it.
My God, you are just being deliberately obtuse at this point. No one calling someone dumb is using it in that way and you know it. I'm not going to continue a discussion with someone arguing in bad faith.
That's entirely my point. The word became a slur, glad you agree with me after all.
Whatever helps you sleep at night champ.
