    Maybe they think all the trans people are in some other part of the country like New York or California, or maybe they think that trans people are so indistinguishable from cis people that anyone they meet could be secretly trans?

    That could explain the paranoia that some people have about trans people. And also why people e.g. think that Daniel Radcliffe’s wife is trans because she’s taller than him (even though they have a child together, but then again, maybe these people think that transwomen can get pregnant.).

      Yet they’ll claim “they can always tell” when it comes to yelling at a cis woman trying to use the bathroom.

          Hell, they’ll yell at cis women that are just taller than average or have a short haircut. Or, even more likely, is a PoC.
