it gives me the same feelings like the "allo" word in asexual communities. "Allo" is the priveleged person and "ace" somehow opressed. It's ridiculous that the priveleged one can be even a gay person just because they feel sexual attraction while asexual doesn't or not always do...

Cis gives me similar vibes. Also I have always felt discomfort saying I'm cis. I managed to explain myself that "oh, cis just means you aren't trans" but it doesn't feel this way to me. I don't identify with everything what's associated with my born sex and I never wake up excited about being born the way I am. Most of the time it's just "meh" or occassionally "well, being a man would be better in some ways". Though I never considered being trans - before I was exposed to that transgender stuff, I used to think of it as classic transsexualism. I'm not a transsexual surely. But thanks to TRAs I can easily fall under the transgender umbrella what makes me feel uncomfortable also.
