It sounds like a situation where nobody wants to speak up in the moment because LW isn't necessarily out to people who weren't there for his transition. And it sounds like a situation where speaking up anywhere other than in the moment isn't going to do anything.
They could probably be doing more, sure. But "how dare you be transphobic to Johnny" in the middle of the gift exchange isn't going to help if it outs Johnny. I dunno what I would do in that situation other than "haha how funny you got Johnny a gift he doesn't want and can't use. again." *deathglare*.
I'd welcome advice on what you could do in the moment in that kind of situation!
