You say all these things like they somehow don't apply to trans women when the only one that universally doesn't is pregnancy which is also something that a lot of cis women don't experience and some cis women straight up can't experience so I really don't know what your point is

That's my point to the folk that have been saying trans is "harder" or cis women just don't get it - which is what I've been responding to. Women - no matter how we get here, all go through huge physical and mental changes and face immense societal pressure and danger. Trans folk are disproportionate victims of violent crime and prejudice anywhere/everywhere because they're trans. Women are also targets of violence and prejudice because they're women. That's why we generally band together and work collectively to better our lives. Because we're stronger together. On the other hand, when someone tells me my journey doesn't count as much as theirs, I'm not going to give them much respect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
