i think it is less that you are projecting and more that you have insight given lived experience.....i agree with you totally.
when i was first transitioning i spent so much mental energy on the idea of being a woman and being unclockable and being like literally impossibly beautiful bc i wanted to be the epitome of womanhood so that no-one would ever even think to question me and it caused me so much pain bc obviously holding oneself to impossible standards is no good for self-esteem.....if i had understood at the time that my not feeling like a woman or a man was legitimate and valid and not something i needed to Fix by becoming the perfect girl or whatever i think i would have had a much easier and happier time.
the other thing, though, is that the world is a lot less understanding of the nonbinary experience than it is of binary trans people, and even they don't get a whole lot of empathy.
