I'm just gonna repeat what everyone else is saying BUT the housemates aren't transphobic. they may act differently around india but that's because of how offended she gets over small things not because she is trans. they also may not understand it but yet again that isn't transphobic as they are attempting to be kind and patient (but when ur with someone like india that may be tough). drag is not transphobic or offensive (unless the person doing drag is transphobic or offensive) its an act of gender expression/playing a role its not anything india should have got fussed about. she didn't have to like it but she didn't even try and relate to Andrews point of view.
and obviously the housemates would have to be trans for it to be internalised transphobia. if anyone was genuinely offensive to india (as in misgendering her constantly reminding her she lived as a guy using slurs etc) then this would be a different story yet they haven't.
