It’s offensive because phonetically it’s similar if not identical to sis.

Short for sister Short for sissy, a transgender person

Being called a man, and being a man, in this cozy patriarchy it is incredibly bizarre to give that up.

I’m not justifying the I’m not doing it if you call me cis dude, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the phonetics have something to do with it.
