I got bullied for having long hair, very pale skin and accused of wearing makeup so I got called gay. Even when my body was clearly not shaped like a cis male I was still called gay..

Those people had no idea of trans people just I was known to them as being a cis male.

Living amongst the ignorant and people who don't understand anything outside the binary they will usually default to traits they associate with a binary gender and assume or try to insult.. Depends on how it is being applied.

It happens to cis people a lot too. Because the hunan body can take many shapes and forms.

Indeed, without any overt transphobia I still find most people default to he/hims bc as far as they can get through their heads I am. Reminding people to respect pronouns is scary, however openly and overtly abnormal I am.

Then it wasn't transphobia, can guarantee that.. It was queer phobia

A lot is presentation dependant in a lot of cases and is what a lot of people would default to.

I'm gendered as a she/her regularly but I dress androgynous now..

I didn’t mean to suggest it’s transphobia with any frequency. It’s the habits of people’s minds.

But in my example I can say it isn't because trans wasn't as mainstream then from where I come from more underground ^^ I would say in today's climate it most certainly could be.
