What it will do is make us seem delusional when we describe our reasoning to people who are still using the terms as they have before.
This is why, as I think I said when you were coming out to your dad, I don't bother explaining my reasoning anymore and I don't think we as a population are doing ourselves any favors by continuing to. It doesn't matter why. Everyone else in the world gets to say "I am a man" or "I am a woman" without having to give their reasons for it, why can't we? Just the fact that so many trans folk say "I identify as a woman" instead of "I am a woman" is evidence of this issue. We're not allowed to own our identities. We're not allowed to be who we are without some complex explanation for it (and that explanation better be the right one, tranny).
And I've yet to see actual reasoning as to how classism is coming into play in my words here, just claims that it has.
So much of what you've been saying has centered the experience of those of us who can afford to physically transition. It might not be intentional (again, classism is a system, it doesn't have to be malicious), but it's there, and yes, it's classism creeping into the argument.
