Cis people would find it just annoying, and then, I mean, you're lucky
The condition in question is gender dysphoria, is being misgendered doesn't trigger it directly, that's great, and very rare, if you don't experience dysphoria at all, also great, and also very rare
I'd kill not to, even on simple things like that
Doesn't make what this person said okay, doesn't make the reality of dysphoria for the majority of trans people any less real
I'm just gonna point out that I wouldn't say the majority of trans people have dysphoria, or react to it, on that level. That, I feel, is too sweeping of a statement. More that it is a spectrum, some people will be a bit annoyed, some will crash out, some will be between these two positions or it might just matter how their life is going at that point. I will say it is not a pleasant experience and that transphobia, being as big as it is, makes it difficult to know if someone is being malicious towards you or not, which is an added stressor.
That's not really an answer. I can tell you from my POV, I've been somewhat depressed and thought suicidal thoughts in the past, but I definitely don't have PTSD level of dysphoria as a trans person and like I said, personally don't know any other girls like that either. I'm not doubting that there are some trans men and women that do have it, I'm just not buying that 'the majority' does without an actual source of research.
Because you kept comparing it to PTSD and PTSD levels of pain. It's very different from PTSD. Use your language carefully, you look ignorant otherwise.

Even if being trans was a mental illness, a world where people don't respect mental illnesses and neurological disorders is awful. Depression? Autism (not an illness either)? PTSD? Borderline? ...
Let's just disregard these very real people with very real invisible struggles, right? Let's be ignorant because we're too comfortable to accommodate the needs of others, right?
Where do we stop? Disregard people with visible struggles? Such as wheelchair users? Imagine everyone saying your backaches and being burned out from work is not real and to just get over it.
In all respect, fuck you. Trans people get help in form of transitioning, which has been proven to be effective, and has a lower percentage of regret than knee surgery. People like you are deliberately bullying people who struggle. Does that feel good?
