There is no such thing as a "non-affected" person. Everyone is the cumulation of a thousand traits; many of these traits make a person some kind of minority when considered from one perspective or another. What changes from year to year is which traits are enjoying attention, and how minority members of that trait are exploiting that attention.

No, there very clearly is such a thing. If I make it illegal to say the word "gay", non-gay people are much less affected than gay people are.

By that logic, if someone makes it illegal to say the word "cis", then non-cis people are much less affected than cis people are.

Why? Trans people have a reason to use the word cis, whereas cis people usually don't, since it's accepted as "normal".

Precisely. Your logic was flawed.
