It's not actually weird at all that you didn't know. That was intentional! Hermeneutical injustice is the result of one group of people being excluded from shaping the means by which we all make sense of our lives.
Edit: Abigail Thorn made an excellent introduction to the study of ignorance which concludes with some reflections from her own experiences of hermenutical injustice, if you're interested in exploring this sort of thing a bit deeper.
Huh, TIL there's a term for this. It took me until I was 26 to figure out I was nonbinary because I didn't know it was a thing you could be. I knew about trans people, but I only knew of the binary MtF or FtM. I knew being a boy felt wrong at like 8, but no matter how I thought about it I didn't feel like a girl either. So I just chalked it up to disliking the things I was expected to be as a guy and that was that. Until I was talking about that experience with my partner.
