    I’m trans. Cis people literally can never truly understand my experience or why the things that are important to me are important. Acceptance can’t be contingent on understanding they can never have.

    Neopronouns are the same. You can work on your own understanding to reduce your discomfort but your discomfort should be your problem, not something you get to force on to others

      And yet you’re fine when transphobes are harassing trans people and telling them to kill themselves, not to mention using right-wing memes made to attack trans people.

        If people cannot understand your experience, it’s not because you are trans and they are cis

        Well, it’s not just that. As you say, even trans folk can’t understand other trans folks experience. But that still speaks to my point. Acceptance shouldn’t be gatekept behind understanding
