Can I ask why you want science to validate someone's lived experience? Isn't the happiness of an individual when you call them their preferred name or gender more important than some sanctity that can be derived through the scientific method?

It just so happens that science has found repeatedly that trans people live better lives when their identities are affirmed, but why should you need that when you could just be nice to people without it causing you any issues whatsoever?
