They said “everyone” accepts actors making a fake name, not specifically that everyone is transphobic.
Also, your study there ain’t doing that much to show its not common, as self-report/Social Desirability bias will skew that data but also saying they can live their life how they want doesn’t mean you’re not also transphobic… even ignoring that, at minimum 31% are? To say that isn’t common means you have to interact with fewer than 3 people daily, and that neither of those 2 happen to be transphobic. Sure if you stay at home and the only two people you see every day are the same two who have accepted you, congrats! Transphobia is cured! Otherwise… Yeah 1/3 people means it is EXTREMELY common. Like, to put it in perspective, Asians are like 6% of the population. Yet I wouldn’t exactly call seeing an Asian person “rare”.
I… what? Fine since you can’t read anything with numbers less than 50% let me put it to you this way so MAYBE you understand.
Let’s assume you interact with 50 people a day(pretty low I interact with about 200 daily but I’m not gonna assume that’s normal), and let’s say 10 of those are probably friends family so we’ll ignore them. The probability of none of the other 40 being transphobic using your 31% would be (1-.31)^40=0.999999641 which is literally close enough to 100% to be considered a rounding error. Is that common enough for you?
I used Asian people as an example because it was a simple way to construe how low percents still are not rare because how many people we see daily. Using the same calculation there’d be a 91.5838% chance at least one person you see is Asian.
You don’t need everybody to be transphobic for transphobia to be a big problem, and OP certainly didn’t explicitly say that “everybody” is transphobic.
You seem to be mistaking “majority” and “common”.
OP literally said “everyone”…

You didn’t need to tell me that you also didn’t know the definition of the word “minority”…
But you did

You guys ever get the impression nearly everyone on internet message boards is autistic?
And I don’t mean that in a mean way, I mean that literally.
I’ve worked with very low functioning populations before and this shit really tries my patience more than my clients did back in the day…
But yeah man, it’s a spectrum. And when you strip out all the facial/tonal cues and general body language…
Yeah, everyone is going to act like the people who can’t pick up on that stuff. Because none of us can pick up on it on message boards.
Hell, think about the “/s” and how people would react if the majority insisted everyone literally say “I’m done being sarcastic now”.
Obviously you’re going to see parallels in communication issues.
