Personally, for me it's the idea that just because you don't experience something (dysphoria, or being a gender other than what society expects of you) that doesn't mean those experiences aren't valid.

I get sooo tired of the response "I just don't understand! I love being my AGAB! Why can't you just get over it?"

Real answer: that everyone is entitled to bodily autonomy, and being autistic or bipolar or having whatever other neurodivergence doesn’t mean someone can’t also be trans.

Pet peeve answer: that cis is not an acronym and shouldn’t be capitalized.

I wish they understood that they don't have to understand to accept.

I wish people could do this with any personal choice. It's like empathy's backfiring, they're trying to put themselves in my shoes and utterly failing, but they don't know how to deal with that.

That being trans is personal and that I don’t owe them an explanation for them to be supportive. I hate that most cis people only support us after we invest many hours of explaining what being trans is like. Why can’t they support us unconditionally?

As a cis male, I wish other cis folk would realize that my nail polish and the fact that I like shows that would normally be geared towards women doesn't mean I am secretly trans, or closeted gay man.

Some people just want to be happy, and it really shouldn't be such a big ask to not stomp all over that.

Crowley: What has he said that made everyone so upset?

Aziraphale : Be kind to each other.

Crowley : Oh yeah. That'll do it.
