This means I'm really aware that, when people fret about a term and they're not in the same group as me, the possibility of real concerns has to be investigated. I'm not saying it isn't neutral - I'm saying it is neutral for me but it concerns me that you're hearing people who think otherwise. I'd want to know from them, why.

Indeed, that was my main reason for writing this post - that I just couldn't figure out why so many people found the word "cis" so hard to accept. I must say I've been very gratified by the response!
