And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

In Germany nearly everyone can drive manual. Used to be that if you didn't learn how to drive manual in driving school, you weren't allowed to drive manual with your license.

AFAIK that is still the case, no?

Still the case in France, although you can upgrade your "automatic-only" driving license to a regular one by following an additional 7 hour course.
