He never claimed to be an absolutist. He never planned in allowing things like vioent threats, for example.

And he's right about those terms - they are used as slurs to shut down discussion. It's a quick and easy way to belittle someone and trivialize their argument.

The only people who think cis is a slur are the ones who use trans as a slur.

They think any descriptor but "normal" is a slur because anyone who isn't cis, hetero, and white is seen as lesser by them.
