thoughts on cis people trying to wrap their heads around what it's like to be trans
I think cis people trying to understand being trans get it wrong a lot. A cis man who thinks "what if I wanted to be a girl" is looking at it from the wrong direction; they should think instead "I'm a guy, but what if everyone else insisted I was a girl?" (and of course vice versa for a cis woman)
I think that would help them understand better how trans people are discriminated against and just what being trans is like in general

I think this can translate to perspective taking in other cases too, but may need to be modified for power imbalances.
