Homie I work in mental health and recognizing a trigger is not a force of systemic oppression, it's a courtesy. Pretending everything is hunky dory and no one has differing needs or experiences is the "i dont see color" equivalent of gender. why would cis women even have that trigger??

    try talking to some ciswomen and find out if misgendering hurts. spoiler - it does.

    edit - fwiw, i keep hearing that lemmy is friendlier than reddit. this doesn't align with my experience so far, it's the same hateful shit as always.

    I'm not saying it doesnt, even in my original post I said they aren't "AS" hurt. Why not try giving a "sir" to 100 trans women and 100 cis women and see how the reactions differ? The way I understand it, you're saying there wont be any difference in reaction. That's naive. It's a trigger! Just like how I can get uncomfortable when someone talks about s.assault but it isn't a trigger for me. If I'm in a group session with people recovering from trauma, I'm going to be very careful talking about SA but if I'm with colleagues I might speak more directly.
