Gordon,

Cisgender is an academic term orginally used in German. A quick Google search can provide more details. As to whether or not the term is a “negative” one or a “slur” that depends on the intent of the user/speaker and also how a listener interprets it. All of us bear responsibility in how respond to another’s communication. Is it really anyone’s business what another person thinks of them?
