Even I’m finding the word a bit derogatory because of said people. Close enough to “breeder”. Man, fuck them. I consider myself a staunch ally and then see shit like that.
I knew someone who refused to look up what words meant. If she didn’t know one , she’d guess or infer from context, but never just look it up. I think she had some unaddressed trauma from school or childhood or something
I had a coworker say cisgender was an offensive word. She is typically very openminded and supportive of the LGBTQ+ community so I was surprised.
Turns out she didn’t know what it meant. She just heard people use it with disdain and assumed it was offensive.
I do not understand other people.
The people using it with disdain are part of the problem.

Realizing people repeat things said by other people without taking the time to understand them should help you understand other people a lot.
