I understand why you think that, but a belief that denies the full humanity of a group of people, especially a group already subject to ongoing violence and prejudice, is inherently disrespectful, no matter how politely you phrase your arguments.
You can’t describe your third spaces as “full respect” when the suggestion that trans women require them is inherently disrespectful in the first place. Respect is treating trans folks as they ask and deserve to be treated: as *themselves*, not as an approximate thing you prefer.

This is a straw argument; your entire supposition is that your interlocutor is lying and not describing a real experience. Scientific research into gender and transness is very much against you here.
