There is nothing about biological sex or gender that affects anybody else in the slightest. Well, maybe your doctor and partner need to know, but that's still your information.

I mean if this is fraud then so is claiming one has a spirit or can heal people through prayer.

How about... If this is fraud, then so is changing your name for any reason.

Don't like your given name and want to change it legally? Fraud.

Don't like your surname and want to change it because your parents were abusive? Fraud.

Want to change your surname when you get married? Fraud.

Changing your name definitely affects other people more than identifying with a different gender. They shouldn't do this until long after they've made it illegal to change your name for marriage.

In that case, JD Vance is quite the fraudster!

(He already is, of course.)

Such a good point!! We need to attack it from this practical angle that they will have a harder time fighting.

I mean, all of these are likely next steps. I thought there was another proposal recently as well to return married women to their former status, where all finances would have to be dealt with via the husband, or something similar? Seems fairly in line with their intent (further marginalize people).
