  I didn’t say everyone had a problem with transgender people, I said everyone was fine with celebrities making up fake names

    Often they have to due to SAG rules. Only one person can have a name while being part of the union.

    Like Emma Stone. Her real name is Emily Stone, but there was already one working with SAG, so she had to change it. She even prefers Emily.

  “Everyone” had nothing to do with my reply. You were saying that transphobia was not common. I quoted the relevant statistic from the survey you linked that implied otherwise.
