that makes no sense, you're making an unrelated argument that can't be considered the same thing, a closer analogy would be:


 
"hey I don't identify as a human but a xenomorph"


 
"Hmm well you are clearly not a xenomorph and they are not a real thing, so I don't think I should have to call you something you clearly aren't nor is even a real thing"


 
Because you see, if someone's name is something weird it's still their name, that can't be disputed, so to call them anything else is simply rude, however someone claiming they are something different from what is scientificly or socially established is not inclined to have other people refer to them as that, as it can be disputed and it is their right to do so whether people find it offensive or not, to take that away and force them to do it is depriving them of a right and protection everyone should have. You can call them rude and tell them it's wrong if you want, you are free to criticize because you are expressing the same right by doing that, taking it away is potentially taking away your right to criticize them as well.
