This is basically how intersubjectivity works. You have no empirical evidence to tell you how others feel, but you can extrapolate based on your own experience.
Just because the experience is subjective, like pain for example, does not mean we cannot objectively verify its existence. You are conflating the one with the other, and wrongly assuming that having a gender that differs from your biological gender is unsupported by any objective evidence, see above your claim we must rely solely on the subjective claim of the person, this is not the case.
