Getting othered and addressed wrong hurts even when it's a reasonable assumption, is the thing. Obviously it doesn't happen on purpose, often the person doing it has no way to know; that doesn't stop it from feeling like you've been stabbed. OP didn't make a big deal out of it, and indeed most trans folk usually don't... but that experience is pretty universal.
There's nothing here!
