There is no such thing as a sex change. A person is of one sex and one only. Chopping, slicing, molding and grafting do not change one’s sex.
And it’s SEX, not GENDER.
Liberals are sick in the head.

Yes and no. ‘Sex’ is what DNA you were born with, and that cannot change. ‘Gender’ has two parts: ‘biological gender’ (what parts you have, which in the case of normal people is the same as their ‘sex’) and ‘gender identity’ (what gender you say you are, which again normal people determine by the parts they have). In the chase of chimeras, hermaphrodites, or people with XXY chromosomes, they can be of both sexes and both genders, or only one sex and both genders (unlikely) or one gender and both sexes (more common). So, while a person can change their ‘gender’, they can not change their sex.

Then, there’s the supposedly related ‘gender roles’, which are just whether you do sterotypically male or female things - for example, if a normal, heterosexual couple had swapped ‘gender roles’, it would mean the man cooks and cleans while the woman mows the lawn and fixes the car. These designations have no bearing on sanity or morality, serve only to fascinate sociologists with the way traditional stereotypes are changing or disappearing, and in fact are just a politically correct way of saying ‘stereotypes’.
