Oh, hey yeah there's tons of nuance. It's not a contest, though, the point is that if the source of well-meaning but passively trans-phobic people's issues are lack of familiarity with who we're talking about, by design because society at large feels icky about discussing it, and the minority group themselves are statistically, astronomically more likely to face violence because of openly being who they are, then even my pseudo-progressive, privileged cis-splaining of the issue, ham-handed though it may be, it still better than keeping quiet and passively participating in the false reality of binary genders.
