The legal implications of identity are complex and can vary by country and legal system. However, I think there might be some confusion about your example. In many jurisdictions, hate crimes are considered to be offences that were motivated by bias, prejudice, or hatred towards a certain group, often marked by race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. If a trans woman assaulted her partner, this would typically not be considered a hate crime just because she is transgender. The assault might be viewed differently if it was motivated by bias against the partner's gender identity, but the fact that the offender is transgender would not change the nature of the crime.
