I think the amount of transphobes in the world would be waaay smaller if everyone knew what gender dysphoria is

And people don't even realize that cis people have it too! My BiL was recently talking about taking Cialis and Testosterone. I have a niece that just got breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. People going through menopause take hormones. Cis children with precocious puberty take puberty blockers so they don't have to go through that at 8 or 9 years old. And cis people don't have the self-reflection to realize that these are all gender-affirming care.
And cis people don't have the self-reflection to realize that these are all gender-affirming care.
The fuck I don't.
lmao, you don't need to take this very general statement so personally.
I suppose you're right. Trans people just aren't very good communicators.

The ~~f~~ hell I don't.
This is like saying "not all men" when someone complains about the majority of men. It's not bad communication. No one ever means every single man or in this case every single cis person with such a statement and it's not trans people being bad communicators that's the problem here.
To be honest, it comes across as bad communication to me. If you mean "some people" or even "some cis people", then why not say that? The way you say it sounds like all, or almost all cis people don't understand, which I think is presumptuous and untrue. Pretty much every cis person I know would understand those to be gender affirming care. Just because some people (especially those in power) don't seem to understand that doesn't justify making it a generalisation.
Thats probably not how you meant it, I just want to point out how it comes across to at least some people, which might imply it isn't the best communication.
