It isn't about how people feel about us,
it is about how we make them feel about themselves.

Most people would argue that trans people are not disabled.
True, most of us have no physical (or mental) impairment but consider this. The Americans with Disabilities Act defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity. If trans people are unable to secure employment (I'd say that is a major life activity) because of the way we look, are we not disabled in that sense?
