Painting with an incredibly broad brush here

In a meme? Never.

Yes. Why is the adult in the right side a woman? I'm so offended!

So true.
But it's a problem in general, humans like labels and groups. I. E., that's good for you and that's bad. It's easy and probably rooted in our evolution. Some people like different because they had good experiences in the past. Like new fruit wow good, tastes well and makes me feel good. Others, new fruit makes stomach ache... Third group oh new fruit, but nothing new. You can replace fruit with mushrooms or people.
Some people hype, some diss and some are indifferent. From time to time they group up and fight each other, because one group has to be right.
It makes me sad, that we've had similar discussions and hate for over 2000 years...

I over simplified a lot, but i hope some people feel the same.
Please let me know if I've said anything offensive, i don't know better, yet.

My strategy as cis is I just don't give a fuck what anybody's gender is. Can't offend anybody if you just don't care.

good meme but I think it should say "trans people and allies"
-
I don't get it

Cis people often do not think about gender so you find that people who are very well informed about gender can't talk with the same amount of nuance as they do with other people who are very well informed about gender. You just have to simplify the concepts so that those who don't know them yet can understand.

It's not a club, dude. Cis people can understand gender fluidity just fine.
When it's a spectrum, boxes are just a reasonable grouping for social means. If you're in a group who has embraced the idea of gender theory, you may make those boxes more granular, but that can be a shock to people that, until fairly recently, had accepted a binary option. In those cases, it may make sense to speak in more broad terms. To be clear, this meme is disingenuous and probably more than a little crass.
And some trans people don’t. Like sorry I fall into the contra camp. The only time I really understood gender beyond dysphoria and avoiding it was after two tabs of acid and several years of transition.
