During a meal I was sitting next to a woman who was considering getting a divorce from her husband and wanted to bounce ideas off me, so with my exactly zero experience of relationships I offered a couple of suggestions based on common sense, such as "talk to him". She evidently didn't like stuff like that, and suggested that, having made a pretty major decision in my life to change gender, I was "smug" about all the other stuff people go through.

Yea, cos transitioning was a doddle and it's all been a bowl of cherries since then. So, yea, from my lofty perch of untouchable moral superiority I can pronounce on the lesser decisions of mortals. Or maybe that's just about the biggest load of presumtuous hooey I ever heard. I was genuinely shocked that somebody could even think that. you just can't win.
