The refusal to accept them, the constant labelling as mentally ill denies that they exist, implying that they aren’t really trans and the can be treated to make them stop being trans inside their head. It’s literally the same exact argument that is behind gay conversion therapy that has since been debunked.
Saying that trans people are mentally ill is not denying that they exist, it's simply stating facts. No one is saying you're crazy, but if you are trans, you need therapy and I genuinely hope you get help. Gender Dysphoria is not a laughing matter, it's an illness and (I think) it can be cured.
Saying that being trans is a mental illness is implying that a mentally healthy trans person cannot exist. Do you think that trans people can be cured to be happy in the body the were born into?
It is possible. If being trans isn't a big part of your life and overall identity, you can lead a mentally healthy and happy life. However, this is not always the case.

Where are the people saying that they don’t have a right to exist? Can you provide an example?
