Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, people today still seem to like to make assumptions based on clothing, appearance, identity, gender presentation etc. or assume that certain types of clothing/presentation/identities mean things that they really don't.

It always sucks when you have to experience something like that, but it shouldn't be something for you to feel depressed or rejected about, imo. It's really they're problem, and if they're going to make those kinds of negative connections they're really not worth your time. Might sound like a cliched response, but still rings true, imo.
