If some Joe thinks he is Jesus, or some gal thinks she's Shirley Temple, we say these individuals are delusional, they have a mental illness, likely schizophrenia. Because few mental hospitals exist, they get to live rough and push their possessions around in a stolen grocery cart, mumbling to themselves.
If some bloke has XY chromosomes and male "plumbing" but thinks he's a gal, or a biological woman who's XX believes she's a man, we call them transgender and protect their civil rights. Why aren't they delusional as well?
Help me understand how the first group is delusional while the second group is a protected class? A class health insurers are being coerced into funding for sex change surgery. You and I as fellow insureds get to pay for their elective surgery, designed to make their physiology more congruent with their delusional state.
Don't we call such behavior "enabling," meaning we are aiding the person to maintain his or her delusion?
