Chromosomes are part of the basic structure of a human being they determine what sex we are, what speices we are, how many fingers, toes, noses etc.
The problem with changing sex is that the transformation is only on the surface. A sexchange is nothing but cosmetic surgery pushed to extreme.

The problem isn't that it "was" a guy, the problem is that it still is a guy who's just made to look like a woman. It's no different from a crossdresser, it's just that the illusion is better. If the change could someday be complete, that the chromosomes actually were changeable then I would probarbly reconsider my viewpoint.
But untill then a man is a man and a woman is a woman no matter how many surgeries and hormonetreatments they go through to change that.
I'm not passing judgment on those who "change" their sex, I'm just saying that up untill the day that science can make a man into a fertile woman with XX chromosomes and vice versa for a woman, the surgery remains to be a very severe mutilation of a perfectly functional body.
Hopefully some day gene theraphy will be able to exchange one chromosome with another and the change made perfect, at least I hope so for those who want to change their sex completly.
So the problem I have with it isn't that they want to change sex or that they feel that they are in the wrong body. It is simply because their sex is still a surgicly created illusion.
