Fiction can do it, it's not required to do it, and it doesn't do it in lots if not most cases anyway.

Unless it' s specifically stated, there' s no reason to believe that the ultra-realistic depiction of reality in a project took ONE single deviation from reality in the form of making cowboys TRAs. And let' s not even talk about The Queen' s Gambit: the entirety of that series has the not so subtle undertone of having women fighting to be taken seriously in a man' s activity. So you are saying that in that reality, trans women, by accomplishing what they want the most (being considered women) are more respected than women by society? Sounds like trans privilege, I guess.

That' s just a film you are making up in your mind because you want it to be like that.

Then why assume your prejudices rule where they aren’t explicit?

Because those stories were told in the most realistic way possible, as I and many others have already told you multiple times.

If I am watching a WWII movie made like "Saving Private Ryan" and they are talking about concentration camps, I don' t imagine that they are talking about clown schools just because I don' t want to deal with how horribly Jewish people were treated in that period of time.

Unless it' s specifically stated that in this super-realistic and dramatic WWII movie Jewish people had a different fate than the one they had in reality, there is no reason to think that the reality of that narrative universe is different from the real one.
