I’ve always figured it offends them because if they accept the term they are de facto recognizing being trans is a thing at all. The term is only necessary if trans is a legit concept.
This is a very generous estimation of the depth of their logical thinking.
My personal read is that cis people, especially cis white people, hate pronouns/genders and racial celebration because it’s something they can’t have. That they can’t control. And that doesn’t hinge on them. They’re boring, and insignificant, and they’re bitter and jealous about it.
It’s like a kid who doesn’t want to play a game anymore because they aren’t winning. Not to suggest that they aren’t winning, because by all accounts they’ve been winning for thousands of years. But even still, the panic they feel from any lack of understanding or loss of control is responded to by smashing the game board and pouting with their arms crossed.
Well, for one example, the British monarchy is about 1500 years old and they’ve done nothing that didn’t serve the cis white community to the detriment of anyone who isn’t a religious white straight person across the entire face of the planet.
I would argue that you should consider who writes the history books and who they serve.
As for real people, I see them everyday. As for breathing people, there are far fewer queer and brown people than there should be, because they were murdered, stolen from, subjugated, repressed, and neglected as a course of standard operating procedure of the “status quo”.

You should pick up a history book and talk to some real breathing people for a change.

Do you think only straight white people benefitted from the British Empire? Or are you saying this of the Monarchy per se?
Did you know that it’s dehumanizing to deny another human’s difficulty and pain in life?
