Where is it though? I don't know anyone IRL that cares. And yet online apparently its the biggest issue in the world. Does make you wonder if they are either all bots or never leave the house.
I know several IRL, I guess it's a matter of the people you hang out with.
I think the worst I can think of is people that just don't really understand, think its strange/confusing. But no one that is hostile to your existence. They will probably use the wrong terms, but they don't really mean to offend and even if they think it odd, they won't stop you from using a fucking toilet.
I suppose most people I know voted green though so it might be a sampling bias.
The UK is experiencing a surge in hate and violence against trans people, so it's for sure sampling bias. From what I've heard from others from your country it varies by city a lot how accepting people are
I wish I didn't know anymore IRL that cares about it. In laws and an aunt are right wing. I try not to be around them as they say heinous things when they get drunk. And they're always drinking.
