It’s a word to describe the opposite majority, by the minority in question, to differentiate who they’re talking about, without using the word “normal”.
Anyone can use a word in a derogatory manner, depending on the context. The more Elon et al flap about offended by it, the more they’re going to yank their chains.

Thank you for thoroughly discrediting the idea of "misgendering"... them cissies don't get to choose what we call them!!!!
Then just say “non-trans” or “people who aren’t trans.”
Your post highlighted very well that all of these ^^^ terms imply an “us vs. them” dynamic. And, again, people in the categories on the left tend to self-identify with those terms while people in the categories on the right do not self-identify with those terms, which is why such terms are problematic.
Or they just correctly identify that some people are gay, some aren’t, some people are autistic (or have ADHD, or OCD, or are suffering debilitating anxiety) - some aren’t, some people have disabilities, some don’t, or some people have gender incongruities, some don’t.
It’s an unnecessary qualifier word. Women are women, men are men. If a man wants to call himself a trans woman, fine. But we don’t need to change the language and act like we no longer understand the terms, man and woman.
It has nothing to do with men or women, as terms, cisgender is a collective noun for people that don’t have any incongruity about their gender.

Women are adult human females and men are adult human males. Just because a tiny fraction of people are trans does not mean we need a qualifier word for these terms, women and man which do have actual meaning beyond being just a feeling, that we all understand.
You called people who don’t like being called cis, “snowflakes” so does that mean I can call a man who thinks he is a woman a man and if he objects I can call him a snowflake? Or someone who gets upset over being called she instead of “they” a snowflake?
I'm not offended by it. I feel sorry for the people who use it unironically. It's a defense mechanism employed so they don't have to deal with the fact that their sexual habits and perceptions of sex generally are abnormal.
Everyone who uses it is damaged in some way. Either they're part of the cult, or they're so weak minded that they've been manipulated into using words which were made up by cultists. Those are largely the same people who accept The Narrative without question and believe they're critical thinkers because they googled something once. I feel very sad for them.
WHIMSICAL - unusual, amusing or playful manner
WHERSICAL - depressing, unappealing, miserable
WHITSICAL - humorous in a sarcastic way
WHATSICAL - can’t determine what gender, and gives up

They’re just collective nouns.
No, they’re not—they’re labels. And they’re labels used by one group of people to refer to another without their permission. The trans community is trying to normalize the term “cis” without the permission of the group of people to whom the term is applied. That is what makes the term offensive.
Moreover, “neurotypical” is not the same as “someone who isn’t neurodivergent.” Using the term “neurotypical” (or any of the terms you cited as non-normative) is offensive when used by those who are neurodivergent to describe people who are not like them, especially when it is not a term with which a non-neurodivergent person uses to describe themselves.
For example, when a Black person refers to a White person, it isn’t usually offensive because the White person self-identifies as “white.” But many people do not refer to themselves as “cis,” which means that others should not refer to them that way either.

It’s not a replacement term for women or men, it’s a term for people that don’t have gender incongruence.
You don’t need to use it. It wasn’t coined for you.

So there you have it.
They (Transgender) don't want to call anyone who's not Transgender, what they really are normal. So they make up a BS word, to make themselves feel empowered.
