The consequence of that belief is that if a person passes well enough as a matter of disguise, regardless of their intention in doing so, then you'd have to accept them as the sex as which they're portraying themselves - and furthermore, that they'd stop being that sex once they take off the disguise, or if it fails.

It’s not even a belief so much I feel like. If someone legitimately passed, any sort of beliefs people might have about “trans rights” or inclusion don’t matter because no one would know. Maybe the OP is using passing differently, but I guess I think of it like living under the radar as the opposite sex. You are right though, if “the disguise fails” or they are outed, everything would change for them.
