Who determines this? Man?

If by "this" you mean the difference between the psychological and the
physical person, it would be determined by the person and people who
deal with this problem.


To me, that is making man god again.

OK, but man changes what nature gives him all the time. We change our
enviroment, we change our bodies. Few people would describe every
change as "playing God". It's an exercise in moral line drawing.

If a
person is "psychologically" a woman in a man's body, then why does
that person pursue a female for companionship and not a man after the
surgery?

I don't really know. It's not something I can personally relate to.
It's completely out of my expirence. On the other hand, it doesn't
cause anybody any earthly harm. So why make a big deal about it?

It seems that that the person would be having a sex change
for all the wrong reasons.

I wouldn't have a sex change for a million bucks. I certainly couldn't
tell a person who'd take such a drastic step that there are "wrong" or
"right" reasons.

Although I don't believe in sex
transformation in either case, I could come closer to accepting it if
the person having the sex change was pursuing a person of the opposite
sex.

I can't see what difference it makes who a person chooses to live with.
If I was unfamiliar with the people involved, I can't see why I'd give
it a moment's thought.
