One of those ways is how when cis people talk about someone's transition, they talk about it as if it happened in a day. Like, when a trans person talks about their transition, they usually say "I started transitioning in [date]". Where as the cis person will say "X transitioned in [date]".

They think transition is surgery. It's a surgery. They think trans people go under, get bottom surgery, breast implants and ffs all in one go and wake up all transitioned.

They think it's possible to change the shape of your body, but not its function. It's all superficial, just changing your appearance. You might even look like the opposite gender, but nothing meaningful actually changed. You have breasts now? That doesn't mean you can ever produce milk. And if you do something so you can? That milk would probably be harmful to a baby.

That's why you'll never be a woman.

They think it does something, but not that that something is equivalent to an endogenous puberty. Like, they'll interfere with your development and make you sterile. They definitely affect you in some negative ways, but they will never produce meaningful results. After all, boys and girls are genetically different.

I'm sure they think someone assigned male a birth taking estrogen is going to get larger breasts. But they don't think those breasts are the same as a cis girl's breasts. They will never look like real breasts (unless you get implants, but those are just for show) and they will never function like real breasts.

I think a few years ago most cis people would not know that HRT is a thing. It's only become common knowledge because conservatives have been fearmongering about giving hormones to minors.

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.
