It’s impossible to use it as a slur, as cis people are not oppressed.

A slur is any word that is used to insult someone based on their immutable characteristics (race, gender, sexuality, religion, ableness, etc.). There is NO requirement of oppression.

Extremely shallow analysis, certain words have a much different history than others and theres a lot of bad faith implications going on herea

Would you say cracker and the nword are on the same level?

Any word said with enough hatred is a slur

Of course that being said I’ve never ever heard cis used like that either

That sounds sensible on first thought…but it’s easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people’s.

The French, for example.

It’s not sensible in any way, you can have slurs for anyone.

Someone not being oppressed doesn’t make them suddenly incapable of being oppressed or held down.
