I'm a 6'4 big bearded mountain looking fucker in the Bible belt, and people REGULARLY think "he agrees with me about this painfully mundane thing so surely he agrees with me that trans people need to shut up and dress appropriately (or whatever)" They'll often be saying the quiet part to me out loud within 5 minutes of shooting the bull with a total stranger.
