Well if there was no transphobia then they wouldn't feel any need to try to hide their birth gender...
The problem is really the transphobia. Hiding their birth gender isn't solving the problem of transphobia in general. Actually hiding their birth gender is actually being cowardly imo. Trans people shouldn't hide the fact that they are trans, it just makes it more mysterious and taboo and contributes to the stereotype that they are trying to "trick" people.
