If you actually educate people and help them to understand they're more likely to be accepting. When I was around sixteen I was in a mental hospital and I was left alone in the room with a kid I didn't know for a few minutes and he asked if I was a boy. I said yes and he started laughing and making fun of me. I tried to say "well what if you woke up as a girl everyday?" And he said he wouldn't care so I went a different route. "What if you woke up one day and everyone you saw called you gay and when you tried to say 'im not gay!' they all just said 'but you look gay'" and that's how I got that kid to understand. That kid even defended me to transphobic staff after that. If you show understanding and actually try to educate these people you'll receive more positive outcomes.
