I came up with an analogy pertaining to this matter:
Imagine there exists a small lake with two groups of fish who are nearly identical except in one way. One of the two groups has scales, and the other group doesn't. Above their waters is a fisherman who wants to catch as many of them as possible and turn them into a crispy seafood dish. The fisherman doesn't care if they have scales or not, as they are edible in the same exact way, and scales or no scales, he will eat any of the fish he catches.
Unfortunately, the fish with scales started conjuring up imaginary ideas to enable disassociation from the fish who don't have scales. They falsely claimed to the scaleless fish, "You're not like me at all, and you don't understand the struggle I'm going through! He won't care to eat you because you don't have scales that make yourself look tastier!" (or some illogical mental gymnastics like that lmao), so they reject the fish that don't have scales and leave them to fend for themselves instead.
Little did the scaled fish know, the fisherman doesn't give a shit, and this divide only hindered their ability to plot a way to avoid him, as he caught them and feasted on them all anyway.
(It also makes sense because no cisgender onlooker observing this kind of discourse within the trans community would think it makes any sense. It's an exclusively intracommunity struggle that's also extremely terminally online and shouldn't exist at all, to a point where only very few people beyond the community would know it's a divide that exists to begin with. It's that nonsensical.)
