I totally agree, but wanted to add that on top of what you describe we get told that we should wear certain hats while others are strictly forbidden. This can seriously inhibit your ability to notice if one hat fits better than another. I've got so much internalized transphobia that I can often not really say what I want. What I do now is trying to slowly unlearn stuff and permit myself to try out more. But it's a really slow process unfortunately :/
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues, though I am delighted to hear that you've noticed them. That really is the main step needed to correct the upbringing bug. I'm currently working on getting a few relatives who are transphobic to realize the hateful stuff they put on social media is really not OK.
