> "Well, their existence as a trans person does, when you reject their own identity and replace it with one you have chosen instead." The hole in this argument being that one can substitute anything else, no matter how outlandish, into that justification and it fits just as well. Try substituting "furry" in and ask yourself whether you are willing to add accommodations for people in fursuits. (And I'm sorry to pick on furries; the few I've met seem like nice people and are sincere in their identity.) If we wish to go for a more disturbing example, there is body integrity dysphoria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_dysphoria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_dysphoria . These people are also sincere in their identities. (And for the record, I'm a liberal and have no problem with trans people. But the above is just not a compelling argument.)
