Someone whose insight I greatly respect pointed something out to me recently, and I think it applies here.
We have two things happening:
First, on Madlow's Hierarchy of Needs, physical safety and security are towards the bottom, and self-actualization is at the top, right?

Now consider the trans party line of "Transition and affirmation or suicide" and the "Would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter?" thing. Basically they're conflating affirmation/actualization with basic survival.
Second, we live in a time where society is expected to care for the individual, but the individual is considered selfish if they look out for themselves (unless they're part of a protected class).
This means that if a person who identifies as trans does not receive validation or treats from the people around them, they have been "failed by their social circle".
This dynamic puts the onus on other people and is possibly why turns minority and victim status are desirable things right now; they "entitle" you to more care from "your community".
