Kstar,
I think for some of us, we just don't accept that biological sex is as mutable as the transgender advocacy community is telling us that it's supposed to be.
Just because a person is willing to take sex hormones and perhaps have surgery on his or her original genitals doesn't actually, in the eyes of some and maybe even many, really mean that the "transgendered" person is in any real sense the sex that he or she feels like he or she is in his or her head.
I think a lot of us are willing to go along with the idea that it seems nice and tolerant socially to pretend whatever the transgendered person wants us to and aren't going to freak out about which bathroom a person uses, but it doesn't really mean that we really accept it at any kind of deep level. We wouldn't set him or her up with family members to date or date him or her ourselves, for instance, because we don't really believe that they are really what they've been "reassigned" to.
Just like so many threads in this forum, there's a great South Park episode or two on this topic. I'm primarily thinking of one in which one of the kids gets racial reassignment surgery.
