It absolutely is, but i can only explain to cis people why they shouldn’t trust trans people who advocate for medical gatekeeping or who deny the validity of nonbinary folks. That’s easy and necessary. OTOH explaining to cis people at which point a trans person having a bad dysphoria day becomes a trans person with truscum brainworms pathologizing their transness is too much treading the needle and too much nuance for a casual conversation with somebody who’s never felt dysphoria and where i don’t know what the cis person will take away from it. So i prefer to leave that kind of stuff that goes beyond the blatantly obvious to conversations that take place within trans spaces.
