Sadly, I reflexively expect to be second guessed and gaslighted even by supportive cis people in my life because there has always been an unspoken vibe of, "Yes, we love you. We care about you but really, you're still kind of crazy and unstable because of who you are. Not everything you say is trustworthy." Not every cis person I know but enough have carried this vibe.
