What is something you learned or experienced from being trans that you wish you knew pre-transition, or that you wish cis people knew?

I'll go first: the temperature differences when going from testosterone-dominance to estrogen-dominance is not just real but significant, my body just puts out less heat and I feel colder much easier now even when otherwise maintaining a high metabolism, eating in excess, etc.

It may have just been my trans denial before, but I really wanted to believe that the difference was not that great and I was wrong.

If you think about it, cisgender people also can experience gender dysphoria, just not to the extent non-cis people experience.

Thinks like feeling uncomfortable with your body when you're on your period (the bloating), even the blood and cramp aside. Or cis men being insecure about their dick size.
