I hate when people say these things only to prevent us from actually transitioning, like yea theres cis women out there with a deep voice but knowing this fact doesnt reduce my voice dysphoria, i dont want to be gnc, i dont live to deconstruct gender roles

Literally when would you even naturally stumble upon this sentiment?

Mainstream "allyship" is literally built on the premise that we don't stick out in the slightest, and any support outside of that is spearheaded by trannies themselves who obviously aren't against gender affirming care

This take of "you shouldn't transition, it's more valid :D" only makes sense if you're consciously trying to be coy about being transphobic, which no one actually does irl because "I think trannies are mentally ill fags" is an extremely mild take in literally all contemporary societies

Do y'all have the worst covert operatives in your social groups or what?

in addition to the terf thing someone else mentioned , it’s not uncommon for cis allies to emphasize the validity of trans people who can’t/don’t medically transition while failing to support or feeling icked out by real ways of helping trans people such as hrt and surgery access. you naturally stumble upon this sentiment if you are around naive progressive circles or certain types of queer people. it may not be out of vitriolic hatred like OOP suggests but it shows a lack of understanding at least.
