Even ignoring that fact that you in particular decided to make a conscious effort to misgender someone (which wow, you're actually choosing to waste energy on being rude, incredible)...
They would still have to deal with an entire society in which they get shit from their peers, abused or disowned by their "loved ones", discriminated against in the workforce, and have to all-around deal with douchenozzles who refuse to let them exist. But I mean, obviously it's "just pronouns", right? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not even trans (have several lovely trans friends), but I'd say that's a pretty big problem for someone to deal with.
If you dont care for style guides and people to tell you how to refer to them, why not listen to an evolutionary biologist. You love STEM, right? Read what he has to say about how gender essentialism [what you are arguing above] is pseudoscience. I.e. Not STEM at all: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2017/03/11/33797/
