Well, there are people who believe that THEY are Napoleon (as the French general and leader). Usually such people are treated in mental hospitals. In my opinion, the same should apply to all those people who believe they are not from their original sex. Especially as nowadays there are more than 50 different made up genders... well, who is counting anyway... Either way those people suffer from schizophrenia.

Are you a boy or are you a girl?
Its an interesting perspective.
Since we cannot experience what it is like to be within another individuals perspective, personally I think its hard to make strong conclusions about their perspective.
The concept of gender itself is "made up." Man and woman, masculine and feminine, these are just ideas and they exist on a continuum or spectrum. For that reason, I do not think that we can devalue the other gender ideas.

Yes, there are feminine males and masculine men, but at the end of the day the are still either men or women.

In terms of "sex" I agree with that statement.

I'm not sure I would agree with that. Humans use language to create meaning within their reality. Again, biological sex is a thing but gender is just an idea, a concept. Gender has largely remained a binary concept because it has never been questioned by society. However, recently individuals and groups have begun to question the current paradigm and the status quo and as a result, the concept of gender is changing, shifting and evolving. This is only one example of how something can be a social construct, so I personally think that there are plenty of applications for it within reality.

I think people who believe in those 72+genders should be quarantined from the society. They are a sick bunch. But I also think individuals have the right to cosmetically alter themselves. In west it's disgusting when they do it. But in Asia I've seen transgender women who are better than 99% of the women I've seen.As long as they have to do a complete cosmetic surgery to be identified as the opposite of their biological sex I'm cool with it. It's individual liberty.
