re: Idaho family buries transgender woman as a man

Nice strawman.

It's not a strawman. If, as you say, the family should be able to remember their child in any way they like, you should be able to grasp the point of my analogy. It's absurd, for sure, but it fits in with what you claimed earlier.

My analogy works because as you yourself said of your example, it's not related to gender reassignment but it's how the family wanted to remember the deceased.

Should I be pissed at them for honoring their memory of him, and not what he actually was? Death traditions are about closure for the living, and I'm ok with however you want to accomplish that.

In life, I can't stop people from throwing me a surprise party, but I sure as hell can control what people try to do with my body. In death, I think the same should apply.
