What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

    Trans people on HRT may have a slightly higher mortality rate (the suicide rate declines significantly with HRT), but OPs statement is true because most people on HRT are cisgender and old - estrogen is a common treatment for menopause symptoms and products like androgel are specifically marketed to cis men with age related decline in testosterone.

        Cis people have been getting gender affirming care for a while, it just wasn’t called that until trans people pointed out that’s what it was. On the flip side, this means that we largely already know the effects of HRT (caveats apply) so they’re not new drugs that haven’t been tried.
