Sure, but you aren't alone in society. If to re-use your example you self-identify as an attack helicopter and nearly all others members of society disagree with your view there, you will observe they generally will not be treating you as one, and that state of affairs can't be reasonably considered strictly their fault.
In the specific case discussed, if you're a hetero trans man with a vagina, you ARE "diminished" as a potential partner to the demographic you'll be trying to date/bang (namely, hetero women a.k.a. women who like cock).
It's okay, but it's not fair to say it's the fault of everyone else only, it's yours too. Deal with it. You can't expect society to change for you.
The analogy with obesity is apt, here. If you're morbidly obese, you don't get to blame everyone who is sexually turned off by that. It's not their fault - they don't choose what they're attracted to. I'd say, rather, it's mostly yours.
