    There is definitely a privilege aspect at play too. I’m a well spoken, boring white, middle aged cis passing trans woman with a family and an established career, which makes me the “right kind of trans” in most people’s eyes. Institutionally, I feel the apathy, but as far as random folk go, whether strangers or colleagues, I would say that by and large they are openly supportive. The unspoken part is that many of those folk are probably only that supportive of trans folk “like me”, even if they don’t realise it themselves.
