Oh yeah, reply to me demanding I've implied something I haven't and then tell me I'm sealioning, yes, sure.
So you've missed the point of my original comment and then went on to post several comments where you literally even contradict yourself. It's okay if you missed the meaning of my point, no need to reply.
I can't imagine any scenario in which someone would be offended over the term "cisgendered". Can you? Or are you still on about how you think I implied medical terms can't be insults, which I never did? "Obese" is a current, up to date medical term. It can be offensive to people, because of the reasons I've explained several times, but there's no alternative word for the medical term. Doctor's won't go around calling someone "a bit big-boned". You can use those euphemisms in real life, as there's no need to call someone obese when there are euphemisms available. I could easily list out dozens of euphemisms for obese, although those also usually apply to all sort of overweight. I can't even think up a euphemism for "cisgender".
So EVEN IF there were a context in which someone finds "cisgender" to be offensive (which I think there isn't), because there's no folksy alternative to it, unlike with "obese", which again, sometimes has to be used as a medical term to specify a specific thing, for which euphemisms just don't do.
