It’s silly but people should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn’t effect others or harm others. Would I ever consider a Chinese man to be a black man? No. I wouldn’t wine about it though.

So not even 1 out of 100 people. The thing is, I'd bet it is even lower if you consider the folks that actually want to walk around cross dressing, etc.

Totally false. There is no consensus at all. Ask the WHO.

Your post reminds me of this: German White Woman Completes Her ‘Transition’ Into a Black Woman.
I've seen her on several interviews and on the show "Botched." There is something seriously wrong with her. She's even reached a point where she fully believes that she'll now have black babies because of her change.

Asking politicians (who may or may not have gone to medical school a long time ago) is not evern going to get you a scientifically accurate answer.
There are only two sexes. Male and Female. Anything else is either a birth defect or a mental disorder.
There is absolutely consensus about this in the scientific community that is not engaged in SJW antics.

This is again totally false.
So my hen just grew spurs, stopped laying eggs, and now does a pathetic crow.
Your statement can be proven false many times over.
Now enter the use of fertility drugs on a mass scale. We already know what hormones do to animals in nature and have had many situations where runoff from pharmaceuticals or excessive hormone in the environment cause transgenderism in animals.
I get you are angry about transgender politics but you are wrong.
The medical industry is somewhat divided but most psychologists and psychiatrists who aren't citing religious beliefs do believe in transition therapy.

Taking hormones can not and will never be able to change the sex of an animal or a person.
Hormonally induced sex changes occur in certain species of animals quite regularly, not sure where you are getting your information from.

I like the 'It's nature' approach. Take Moray eels for instance. They are the transgenders of the ocean. They can hormonally change in an instant to ensure the survival of their species and then change back again. They are a fascinating creature. Was watching a documentary on them and it did make me think about transgenderism in humans.
Oh wait! That may not be an helpful comparison, since the hormonal changes simply occur naturally biologically all by themselves. If one were to compare, one would have to expect that transgenders would naturally create the alternate hormones to naturally change their gender. They would also then be able to produce children in their natural gender role. Nope, that documentary was totally wrong in comparing eels to transgenderism.

Apparent;y I understand it better than you.
Again...
The day that you can show me even one example of a person, born a man, who, without surgery, becomes a female, then I'll reconsider my position.
