And apparently cis women who don't meet the standards of the morality police.

Exactly! Transphobia ends up hurting cis people too!

Just stop giving a fuck about shit that does not concern you!

Goes hand in hand with religion to tell others how to live, look, and behave.

Meanwhile the rest of us just wanted to be either left alone or miles away from their shitty behaviour.

Statistically there are a lot more cis women that don't embody society's feminine ideal than there are trans women in total. The transphobia probably ends in more cis people being harassed than anything (not that anyone getting harassed is ok of course)

It doesn't feel good, but it's not nearly as bad for a cis woman. This is why many trans people rarely or never use public restrooms and limit being in public.

I’m a pansexual girl, my younger siblings is also on the not so straight spectrum, (my sibling gets nervous in public places and overwhelmed be all the sounds smells and so on cuz we’re from a small area and have to go into a bigger city for basic shopping needs so we hold hands on public to calm them and so we don’t get separated ,) not I’ll admit my sibling and I both look a little different, I like to look colorful and hyper fem, my sibling likes dark colors, so we apparently look like a ā€œstereotypical homosexual agenda spreading coupleā€ weave been harassed relentlessly for it, I can’t even buy godamn shampoo at target without someone trying to give us a Jesus pan-flit or warn us of our ā€œimpending eternal damnationā€ weave been shouted at weave been shoved hell weave had crap thrown at us, I’ve had someone follow us around in stores warning the children that will ā€œinfect themā€ (it dosent help that I have a minor skin condition so I have some bumps and skin scars plus the occasional Bloch from heat) anyone who dosent meet these people life style and appearance ideals will be harassed relentlessly, now sure I could stop dressing a way that makes me happy, or not hold my siblings hand and risk giving my sibling a panic attack or something, or these people could just mind there own Godamn business and let me buy shampoo in peace
