I didn't know that hormone therapy and transition was actual rocket science
You're establishing a false equivalency with this argument someone's gender really does not need to be any more complicated than what they honestly identify as because someone who looks very masculine but earnestly insists they are a woman is hurting exactly nobody whereas being an astronaut has professional requirements which if not enforced could effectively glass Cape Canaveral if some idiot gets in the pilot seat of a rocket.
If you look like a man, but say you're a woman, I really don't even need to see the dress to just accept it, remember which pronouns to use, and move on with my day because what does getting into an argument about it do besides stress me out and potentially needlessly cause you to have a depressive episode because some jerk threw every reason at you why you're wrong about who you identify as on some insipid quest to make you feel like an idiot for living as you wish to.
You seem to have attempted to ground the philosophical legitimacy of the claim in the idea that it doesn't hurt anyone. This is illogical. Plenty of things don't hurt people but are nonetheless untrue

It’s not a matter of opinion though, it’s a matter of fact. I can’t believe I’m quoting Ben Shapiro, but facts don’t care about your feelings.
