“Cis” and “TERF” aren’t slurs, but claiming that they are over and over again until the mainstream press is unwilling to use them because they want to avoid controversy is a wonderful way of denying a marginalised group the vocabulary to discuss their own oppression. This is, of course, 100% the point.
You will also note the projection in that “trying to control language” is precisely what they accuse us of doing.
