I believe that it is an issue with the real fragility of the gender identity of some transgender people. When someone uses the wrong pronouns on them their world collapses. And yes, in all other contexts this would be viewed as a mental health disorder of some type and the responsibility for dealing with it would not be put on the shoulders of everyone else. This particular minority is treated differently, probably because most negative consequences are experienced by boring bog-standard women who are expected to be kind, without boundaries and so on.
