A lot of people have never (knowingly) met a trans person and it shows. The moment someone uses the phrase “man in a dress” unironically, they demonstrate that they are not someone worth talking to.
While that’s reasonable, there are genuinely people out there who do not know.
My ex hit me with that exact phrase, and once I’d explained what trans people really are she changed tack straight away. Trans people do not have a legal status here, and she’s now quite determined to be a good ally.
