First of all - ''cis'' is no insult. It is a completely normal and neutral term to closer describe someone's relation to their gender. It is the counterpart of ''trans'' and just like ''trans'' it is an adjective. ''cis'' stands for people where the gender assigned at birth aligns with their actual gender. ''trans'' stands for people where it doesn't align with their actual gender.
And ''biological male/woman'', although it may have its place in science - in social context it is a wrong and invalidating term. Because at the same time you call yourself biological, you tell the world that trans people are not biological. Which they are. This term is usually used by transphobes and right winged humans.
So, in your case, if you want to describe your gender, just say "man", or if you want to convey the additional information "cis man".
Also I recommend you to read up on the topic and usage of language regarding it. To not hurt or dehumanize others in the future.

Never met a person who thought "cis" was an insult that wasn't also transphobic.

I did not say it is an insult. Ler me make myself clear. I was just reflecting my experience on Feabie as compared to Fantasy Feeder. ---A "cis male" or "cisgender male" is a person who was assigned male at birth and identifies with the male gender, aligning their gender identity with their biological sex.

My guy, I have what you originally wrote. Like, kudos on you for realizing you were being out of pocket, but let's not pretend you weren't being out of pocket.
I'm sorry that you dealt with being picked on by trans people on Feabie; the way you're going about expressing this grievance is making it seem that their behavior is endemic to trans people. And that's what PrincessOmelette was getting at.
Also, what beef do you have with labels? Do you not see that the same talking points you have about queer identities are the same talking points people have against kinksters like yourself? I'm so serious. You could take your average anti-trans or other queer identity talking point, compare it to how the vanilla crowd talks about us, and it's the same conversation.
