I think it all comes down to personal experience.

I have to wear my hair very short and wear outdoorsy work clothes for my job. I can't wear jewelry and makeup would be completely impractical. On top of that, I have a very square jawline and 'masculine' features. People assume I'm a guy pretty regularly.

On the one hand it doesn't bother me, because I know everything about my appearance suggests I'm a 20-something dude. On the other hand, I got picked on a lot in school for being ugly, and I've had everyone from ex-partners to family to fucking strangers comment on how un-girly I look. So being misgendered can really sting, because it's just one more incident in a long string of "Oh wow you totally don't look like a girl" things.
