Then why are some trans people angry when others dont call them by their gender? I mean if you believe in the definition of sex, then if you call a trans woman a woman, then wouldnt that make you a sexist?

Here, we are diverging from the sociological definition and entering the more political side of things: the trans community (or trans movement) seeks recognition of the gender they identify with

Gender appears to be a deep part of human identity, which is why, in general, the medical field believes it's better to let trans people live as the gender they identify with. The psychological harm of forcing them to live otherwise can be significant. Refusing to treat a trans man as a man means you do not respect his right to self-identify, and this is definitely perceived by many (if not all) as a microaggression 

What about narcissistic people? Should we always agree that they are the best at everything? I mean it could make them sad if we say otherwise.

Or what about compulsive liars? Should we always accept what they say as truths?
