One could reply to that with "even if you could have know it, or even if you did know, nothing would justify your parents beating you"

Just as a general heads-up: if a neurotypical brings up a specific example or incident as a way of illustrating a larger picture, try to resist the urge to point out that the one specific example is incorrect. They will interpret your disagreement of that singular detail as a disagreement of their entire general statement.

So if someone tells you "my parents beat me for not knowing something I couldn't have possibly known", what they're saying is "my parents were wrong and their reasons to beat me were entirely unjustified."

So when you answer "but you could have known that, it was taught at school", what they hear is "your parents were right and their reasons to beat you were entirely justified."

And no, there's no getting back from that. No amount of explaining that you didn't mean what they heard is going to help once they're already mad.

#but also that's just the exemple used in the post #so trying to figure out a way to reply this example doesn't solve the issue

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’

We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.
