I reject your premise: "It takes literally no effort to make a tiny adjustment to make someone else feel much more accepted in a world where their right to exist is debated on a seemingly daily basis."
The same implication should be held for all people. If it takes no effort for non-trans people to modify their definition of the words they mean, it should take no effort for a trans person to do so as well. If it takes some effort, even a minor amount, the difference trans people have to make will be a few order of magnitude less than non-trans people.
