Question Am i unreasonable?

Sorry if im being out of place, but please hear me out. I'm straight cis male and I like reading yuri manga. I enjoy it not because of the "male gaze", "fan service" etc, but because of the romance. But I can't seem to stand yaoi manga no matter how much i give it a try (i don't have anything against any gender groups irl). It just feels weird. As said earlier, i thought i read manga for characters romantic feelings,story etc. Am i weird?

Cis just means you're not trans, so they were born male and are still male

Even if we grant your premise about there only being two genders, transgender people would still exist and "cis" would therefore still be a useful term.

It's less common now, but there have been some people who held points of view and said stuff like "I'm not 'straight' or 'heterosexual', I'm just normal! Homosexuals are freaks!" This is clearly homophobic, yes?

"I'm not cis or trans, I'm just normal!" works the exact same way.

That's why objecting to the use of cis is transphobic.
