Oh C'mon, have some empathy. Of course cis people are just going to be amused to mildly annoyed. Trans people however are in a daily grind to be recognized. From personal experience, it always depends how deliberate a misgendering is, once with subsequent correction stings but is fine, not putting in any effort is quite uncomfortable and deliberately doing the opposite is "fuck off and never talk to me again" territory. The later happens not as infrequently as you might think, so the second might be misunderstood for the the later (and really, it costs nothing to not make people feel like trash).
While most people will eventually be recognized - at least if they fit within the binary somewhere and medically transition - a few will not, and almost nobody will on the long way there.
To insist it is not a big deal because you can't relate, that is immature.
