You've made it sound like they're living in war conditions. The law is not a fun fun toy to just apply labels haphazardly without giving any sound thought as to what processes that would have to entail for that to reasonably apply to every scenario across society.
The problem there is we already have seen how that plays out in incarceration setting with self-ID, which is practically de facto without the spirit of laws (due to legal liability concerns which governs most policies in "empathy"-backed governing). Just as mental health is being accommodated at every step even when it is obviously an abuse of the system.
When a system tries to accommodate too much, it slows things down, denies the most vulnerable people who don't have access to good doctors or lawyers access to needed services here in the States because of all the false claims. It's become a huge problem in incarceration settings where people are being held for really long periods of time in deplorable conditions hoping to get paperwork through to get into a facility, largely due to lack of space. When there is no space, new rules are invented out of thin air under the guise of "empathy" to suddenly dump hundreds of mentally ill and even potentially dangerous back out onto the street because there's just no way to accommodate them. The system can only work so fast.
Do we really need to tie up the courts with more additional nonsense because Jerry thinks wearing a dress and someone making fun of how he looks is akin to rights being violated? There has to be a point where reasonable lines have to be drawn and people learn to self-manage. And in an era where people don't really agree on very much, at least we can agree on what is biology. Otherwise we can't function even basic services without rampant abuse without standards becoming so unreasonable that nobody can reasonably apply them without lawyers or judges having to be involved at every step. This dream world where all things can magically come together and be accommodated at the same time without very significant drawbacks doesn't exist. Government knows this, but continues to sell people on that false dream because it expands their hold on power. This is one of the primary reasons why mental health is so jacked up in the States and has gone nearly for profit. It's also why we are seeing many major rollbacks on these policies now because people are starting to realize they've been lied to about the availability and ability to reallocate resources.
People using labels and classification systems to their advantage themselves with extra perks happens all the time, every single day, every minute. Our culture at this point does very little to penalize this, so there's no reason to pretend that this attitude is very occasional. Just take a brief look at any social service that offers an easy, obstacle-free application process.
What's also normal in a setting where victims are common are perverts and predators. They particularly love getting into the mental health areas where vulnerable people are housed because of 1) perks, 2) easier access to victims and their resources so they can to exploit. When a non-verbal family member ends up raped in the corner out of camera view not able to defend themselves it's because every doctor in that facility has been told if they don't pass that individual through the checks without adequate enough proof to keep them out (good luck), they're out of a job. I know it happens because my husband used to have to do the paperwork and take the statements to get people like that out regularly. Incarcerations is packed with this abuse because we are throwing entire populations of society's most troubled individuals sometimes, which by most people's descriptions includes trans folk (even yours, apparently), into the same bucket and expecting that this will all just work out fine because either the system shows "empathy" or all those folk who just want to do their part are out of a job.
A vast majority of people are not trying to put trans-people into harsher situations if they can help it. If anything, common sense people want to prevent that plight from expanding. But the activists don't really care about the above because they're far more concerned with breaking the system further with more random experiments (usually incarcerated are the first...because "gotta help trans people or else", all because it is keeping them and their interests advantaged. Making a country a bigger hellhole for all people to live in just to a few more feel more accommodated is not real empathy in my book. And from experience, most activists are assholes not really caring about the end result of the damage being done, but rather they're more interested in making sure everyone in whose hand is in the pot is getting some credit for it. There's a reason that their behavioral habit is to become incredibly hostile or thin-skinned when their credibility and intentions comes under even minor question. Many more people work in social services or other needed facilities without major complaint but will tend to take the blame and be forced to put up with all kinds of scrutiny just for simply existing and doing their job, just as a comparison to supposed "activism".
Nobody wants to be on the "wrong" side and be part of doing more evil. Obviously, it's the opposite or so many services or parts of governing would not have gotten as bad as they have in the past few decades.
