Until such time as we have objective evidence for what gender a person is, we will believe their subjective testimony without objective evidence.
There is a clear diagnosis for gender dysphoria included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association.
So it's not a purely subjective claim, anymore than someone claiming to be gay is a purely subjective claim, it can be objectively tested, and homosexuality was also classified as a mental disorder until fairly recently, hopefully this will change for gender dysphoria as well, but its existence is objectively evidenced.
