I don't take it as a gimme that a supposedly pro-trans environment is transfeminist. I go for months in a deep south red state getting she/her'd and ma'am'd by strangers, but in "woke" contexts I've been extensively they/them'd/degendered and spoken over due to being "an amab".
Obviously the average conservative would be far more dangerous to my person if clocked than any amount of microaggressing Portlanders, so I don't consider it the absolute worst thing to deal with. But it's of note to me that I am less likely to be seen as a woman by so-called allies.
