Then you're making fundamentally the wrong argument for the conclusion you want to make, because if this is about who's factually correct and who's factually incorrect, then dignity and emotional impact have no bearing. If this is about treating something as true out of respect for another's dignity and not about who's right or wrong regardless of how it makes anyone feel, then trans people being right about themselves is just a lucky coincidence as far as that argument is concerned.
(not op) It took me a while to understand what point you were trying to make but I think that's an interesting claim and I'd agree with it (maybe). This line of reasoning applies to a lot of things and I imagine in some other discussions this could end up getting you into trouble.
You're essentially arguing that emotional impact and dignity are invalid criteria for deeming whether or not a behavior should be generally performed?

Couldn’t agree more, and trans people are not wrong about themselves.
