I agree with you on your points. I guess my questions would be, is it reasonable to assume trans people believe in that theory because they are trans or should they be judged individually? If it is makes sense to assume that trans people believe in the theory you are against, is it okay to discriminate on that basis?

I don’t assume trans people are more likely to be QT because I’ve seen a fair few on the Internet who aren’t, and the most vociferous proponents of QT tend to be natal women (and men, to a lesser extent). I do not believe it is right to discriminate against a trans person who believes in QT, for the same reason it’s wrong to discriminate against other religions- harassing people because they believe in something different leads to more division and intolerance.

The reason I make this comparison is belief in an innate gender identity reminds me of belief in a soul (a common theme in many religions). I believe in neither, but I personally don’t care what you believe so long as you don’t force it upon me.
