Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)

No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/

Years ago, my wife shaved her head for a Saint Baldricks Day event. She was one of four women among a bunch of men to fully shave. When people commented, her response was always "You know, little girls get cancer too." She would adjust her tone along the earnest/passive-agressive scale according to her interlocutor's tone.
