I just think it's weird how people go, "well every man/woman hates being a man/woman, so you probably aren't trans!" is seen as, like, a valuable argument. I have certainly heard people complain about the experiences they have because of their gender, but that's where it stops. I think, though, that trans and cis people have a vested interest in making gender less restrictive because I have noticed cis people also don't like gender essentialism - that's also what cis people tend to hate, too, even if they aren't aware that that is what they hate.

I don't know how to stress this enough, and I feel like I have said this a million times, but trans people by and large do not have to hate our previous gender - and we often don't! Trans people often hate being forced into a gender we aren't, or being forced to conform to an incorrect gender, but that by no means indicates that trans people hate a certain gender.
