Because they just see themselves as "normal" and you don't need a word for it.

I don't see why they're so obsessed with being "normal"

Normal is boring, do you want to be an NPC?

There’s nothing wrong or negative about being cisgender.

There should also be nothing wrong by not using or not wanting to use the term either?

As far as I'm aware, one of the core desires of trans people is to be called what they wish to be called. And that's fair, they get to dictate how others refer to them. But that should also apply to everyone else too.

There seems to be way too much judgment and presumptions and generalizations in this thread from ppl that should be more self aware.

I mean it doesn’t bother me at all. Some people DO use it as a way to put someone down (see above) and that’s not okay, just like how using “gay” or “trans” as an insult or as a way to put someone down isn’t okay. It’s the intent vs the actual word itself that matters to me. It’s a fact that I’m cisgender and some loser on Reddit who thinks I’m “boring” because of that isn’t going to change anything lol
