I grew up in the 90s where "gay" was the go-to insult for basically everything. If people didn't like it or didn't understand it it was automatically "gay" because they saw being gay as the same.
I didn't know at the time I was trans and gay, but I didn't like it and while I wasn't exactly feminine I didn't act like the boys around me so that is what they went with. Also didn't help I had undiagnosed ADHD and autism.
