    Lol no thats not why they get offended. If you tell a cis person “they are trans” that means they look like the other gender. Its the same as misgendering a trans person but with a few extra steps. Also maybe they are attacking you because this is harassment…

      But why would that offend if you constantly tell people there’s no difference tran women and cis women. If you told a trans person you didn’t believe they were trans they would probably take it as a compliment.

        Trans people don’t tend to take that as a compliment since it implies trans people don’t usually pass and can be easily clocked most of the time
