"the poster I was talking to is anti-trans when he previously tried to present himself as a neutral observer following wherever the research leads. "

hopefully he will explain himself

"those that choose to transition want to change their sex. Changing the social constructs of gender will not necessarily fix this. "

but they want to change their sex to make it align with their gender correct?

what i'm asking is that since we know that gender is changeable since it is a social construct why can't we just change their gender?

"I invite the poster in question to legitimize his claims then."

me too

It's possible that in a society that has abolished gender as a concept there would be fewer transgender individuals, but my understanding is some would still feel like they were meant to have a penis when they have a vagina (or vice versa) and thus sexual reassignment would still be a viable and useful technique. 

oh you are a gender abolitionist?

"but my understanding is some would still feel like they were meant to have a penis when they have a vagina"

why would that be the case if the social makeup of society has dismissed with the idea of man and woman?
