i don't remember jk ever claiming anyone's existence isn't legit,

When you deny somebody's identity, you are refusing to accept that their existence is legitimate. That's the simple reality of the situation. Dismissing that reality as "a slight deviation from how most of you think" doesn't change the fact such dismissal is in direct opposition to the fundamental concept of transgenderism. Labeling that as anything other than "anti-trans" (recall that the prefix "anti-" means "in opposition to") would be dishonest.

if someone thinks they are jesus, do you hate that person if you don't cater to them?

Are you really going to try to equivocate something as broad as gender identity to something as specific as identifying as a specific person? Because that kind of equivocation should probably have some form of practical justification behind it, which I can't help but notice you're missing.

If I tell a furry that they aren't actually a wolf am I illegitimizing they're existence?

Furries are generally role-playing, rather than being a matter of personal identity. Doing that would be roughly the same as telling somebody playing Zelda that they aren't actually Link. That's not a question of de-legitimizing their existence so much as it a matter of you trying to ruin their fun for no reason. You'd still be a tool, but in a different way.
