Certain things, like the width of the shoulders, the hips, and the size of the hands are kinda hard to change, from my understanding. As in, they can't really be changed.
Maybe if someone started the sex change before puberty hit...I don't know.
We're talking overlapping bell curves of characteristics here, not all guys and girls being pooped out of single distinct moulds.

No, it is just if some person likes to dress as a opposite gender/sex I am ok wih that.
But if such person starts to forcing its believes that everybody should accept that he or she is the opposite sex than I am against that and i would not participate in that game.

Yes, because of course people have a habit of beginning a first date with "Excuse me, but will you allow me to examine your vulva in minute detail?".
Actually, it probably does look normal, because the penis, labia, scrotum, and clitoris are made of the same tissue.

And thus we enter the quickest, and easiest, way in which gender identity is bullshit. If gender identitiy is self-defined, then gender identity literally is meaningless. Labels only have meaning when they possess explanatory power. If gender is self-defined, then the labels of male and female become meaningless with regards to it. According to you, someone could possess traits X, Y, and Z, and claim they make him male. And they'd be right. But someone could also take those same traits X, Y, and Z, and claim they make her female. And she'd be right too, according to you. Someone could identidy as male due to traits X, Y, and Z. But someone could also identify as male, citing the exact opposite traits A, B, and C. What this does is it makes the issue of gender so muddled that when you call yourself male or female in terms of your gender, I have no idea what that means. It literally transforms the sentance "I am a woman" into "I am me", as that is the only information about you it communicates. It strips gender of all explanatory power, rendering it meaningless and nonsensical.
Thus, the self-identification argument for gender is absurd, and falls flat on it's face. Strike one.
