frankly a large number of self-proclaimed cis allies don't view trans women as a class with material interests or needs - they view us as a population that it's impolite and unnecessarily cruel not to humour, and get deeply uncomfortable when forced to think of the mechanics of transition
being told "you don't need hrt to be valid" always pissed me off because what does "valid" even mean in this context? i've never met a trans person who was worried about this concept of "validity" and it kinda just sounds like a buzzword to me
The SciShow HRT vid is still up. Its writer is trans and allegedly has personal experience with androgenizing HRT, but the section of the video concerned with feminizing HRT has numerous errors.
The video also ends by name-dropping the hijra in a "you don't need HRT to be valid" conclusion.
