This is like saying "not all men" when someone complains about the majority of men. It's not bad communication. No one ever means every single man or in this case every single cis person with such a statement and it's not trans people being bad communicators that's the problem here.
To be honest, it comes across as bad communication to me. If you mean "some people" or even "some cis people", then why not say that? The way you say it sounds like all, or almost all cis people don't understand, which I think is presumptuous and untrue. Pretty much every cis person I know would understand those to be gender affirming care. Just because some people (especially those in power) don't seem to understand that doesn't justify making it a generalisation.
Thats probably not how you meant it, I just want to point out how it comes across to at least some people, which might imply it isn't the best communication.
Your lil gotcha doesn't really work here. You did "not all cis" to an argument about the majority of cis people while then posting an argument about the majority of trans people to which i did a "not the majority of trans people reply"
