First, I’d challenge the ‘most people’ part. In my experience most people really, truly do not care one way or the other if someone is trans. But to be fair, this may vary between countries, societies, etc.
Edit: I wrote a bunch of other stuff here, but wasn’t happy reading it back. Someone else here said religion and bad science, which is close enough to the point I was trying to make that I’ll just say that.
I live in texas and transphobia is prevalent enough that misgendering is the norm once people hear my voice. I get looks of disgust often enough that I’m used to it, so yeah it varies from place to place and some people don’t know how bad it is because they dont experience it.
