Your comment here pretty much hits on the crux of the issue. According to your ideology, he never was a woman. But... he was. He was a baby girl, a teenage girl, an adult woman, all or at least most of that whilst I assume suffering dysphoria. He is now an adult man who, unfortunately, likely still doesn't feel "complete". Grandpa suffered trauma during the war. So we don't bring up the war, at least in his presence. We don't pretend that he never served. You can be sensitive about history without rewriting it, we do it for everything else.
