Which politics do you mean? If it's now considered politically correct to accept whatever anyone says about themselves, that's not what it originally meant: it was about treating people with respect, not accepting whatever bullshit they dish out
Nah, they aren't nearly that consistent. They hate when people reuse PC arguments to support something that isn't currently popular. They invariably see it as an attack and assume any comparison was made in bad faith.
For instance it's been pointed out that most arguments for gay marriage work for consanguineous marriage too. But if you mention this around PC folk, they will assume you're anti-gay marriage and trying to discredit them. Because apparently it's too improbably that someone ACTUALLY believes "love is love" etc.
Is it normal I see a clear parallel with transgenders?

Yep. I don't really understand why some people find that comparison so offensive. Well, I have my suspicions: In a word, politics.
