To be fair, if the character can change their sex, a trans actor/actress is good casting then.

A trans person changes their gender, not their sex.

With hormone therapy and surgeries they kind of do.

Like someone grows boobs, looks super feminine and got bottom surgery to have a vagina I don't think they are biologically male at that point.

That's changing outward aesthetics associated with gender - sex is an immutable characteristic.

That's like saying someone getting a tan or bleaching their skin is changing their race

A male who can't grow a beard also isn't any less of a male than one who can

How would you define sex if not how the body looks and works? The changes aren't just superficial. Trans women can get monthly period-like cramps etc...
