I sincerely mean this with no disrespect: while that sounds quite reasonable, it is thoroughly sophomoric and misinformed.

Before I elaborate, would you mind telling me: what has been your personal first-hand experience meeting transgender people who are out to you? And what state do you live in?

Also, if you’re comfortable, what would you cite as a source of news and information that has guided your thinking on this issue?
