Ok, but I have to point that you literally wrote a long and detailed article on how cis people can relate to a trans experience better. So maybe... stop expecting to understand the trans experience based on bad metaphors ...?
Honestly though, I don't need to exactly what someone else experiences to support them. And the data on outcomes is clear, giving access to resources to someone who wants to transition makes them happier, healthier, and even a more productive member of society, if that's someone's jam. I guess I'm still mostly confused why some people get all up in other people's medical business.
