If they do not care, then that is great and they have nothing to worry about. My experience with people who like to stand out (and I'm not necessarily talking about transgenders, yet people who dress in very attention grabbing ways, such as brightly colored Mohawks, as many piercings as they can fit on their faces, face tattoos, etc.) is that they are always complaining about it not being fair that places don't want to hire them, that people stare, etc. Well, that is the unfortunate consequence of presenting yourself in that manner. I don't make the rules of life, I just go by them rather than denying them, because that does no good and there's nothing that can be done to change other people.
I studied conformity and these groups, like "hippie", "goth", "emo", "potheads", etc are not quirky and if you follow any of these groups you're not unique, and you're not non-conformist. Non-conformists don't do these or any popular things, they're weird people who are told, "you're not a hippie, you're a freak!", therefore freak is defined as markedly abnormal or unusual, and these groups want people to think they're freaks, freak implies you're so individual you're not even an individual, you're just yourself, one of a kind, and people told me "you're not a hippie, you're one of a kind, you're just unique" when what they really want to say is "you're just a weird, long hair freak on drugs!".
Non conformity disgusts me

As a transgender person and one of those who may attract attention I can say this -
The last thought on our minds is "I wonder what strangers, whom are not doing me any favors anyways, will think about me?"
For some people complaining that society may not accept them, I believe the real concern is about said strangers bothering them in the first place.
