Writing this as a Transwoman for who sees herself in Ezri but not Jadzia. Also something I talked to other Trans People about it.
Added DiffLines:
** However some Transwomen find Jadzia uncomfortable as she is often gushing about her previous hosts, most of all Curzon, and has no problem with being called "old man". Meanwhile most transpeople get very uncomfortable whenever people bring up their deadnames, especially saying things akin to "I really liked the old you", which is the oppositte on how Jadzia reacts to this. Also Jadzia treats the joining as a great honor and something she worked long and hard to get chosen for, Transpeople don't view their condition as something desirable but as a state they were born with. These Transwomen tend to rather see themselves in Ezri in both her "I didn't chose this" and "Stop comparing me to/meassuring me against Jadzia".

** Dax and the Trill also have a lot of fans in the trans community, with how the experience of changing between hosts of various genders resonates with the trans experience. Especially in early episodes where there is a lot of emphasis on Dax being a man the last time around, many trans women saw themselves in Jadzia.

** Meanwhile other Transwomen see themselves in Ezri and especially her determination to be seen as her own person and not as "Jadzia's new body", which mirrors transpeople trying to stop people refering to them by their deadname and/or comparing them to "their previous self".
