Far from the most egregious example, but I was hanging out at a buddy's place one day, and given the parking situation, a couple of our cars were awkwardly parked on the side of the road. It wasn't much a problem for drivers, but we were both illegally parked according to the law, both taking up similar amounts of road space, with both cars being roughly the same size.

The only car that was ticketed was the car with the trans flag bumper sticker.

Cops are certainly bothered by their existence, at least here in the southeast.

Ask a trans person, they're going to have at least one story of somebody taking issue with them existing while trans. Usually multiple.

I worked with my (trans) ex for a bit as an after school instructor. We were contracted out, didn't have our own spaces so we borrowed classrooms. The teacher we were borrowing from really didn't like us (the company, not individuals. At least at first) so she liked to hang out and watch us to make sure we didn't mess up her classroom.

At one point, I was making friendly conversation with her and my, at the time, partner came over and started chatting as well. They mentioned being trans, and then shocker this greying mound of filth started misgendering them, despite getting it right before they knew they were trans.

I think we only lasted like 3 more days in that classroom before I got into a yelling match with this woman for constantly making my job as hard as she could, which resulted in us getting moved into a different room
