I don't need to present any arguments whatsoever, society has done that for me and encapsulated it in law. Equality Act 2010 allows any male to present as a woman; whether or not they have made any physical changes to their body is, in more ways than one, immaterial
Of course anyone can "present" in in any way they like. There are no laws about what men and women must wear or the names they can use! Show me where the Equality Act says that the terms man and woman are about presentation not sex (clue: it doesn't)

EA2010 states a person is protected by law even if they are "proposing" to undergo the process of "gender reassignment" by changing "other attributes of sex". These "other attributes" can be purely presentational. EHRC Statutory Code of Practice page 34 gives practical examples

Yes they are protected by law against discrimination because of the protected characteristic 'gender reassignment'. They shouldn't lose their job, be harassed, be refused service in a restaurant etc... This does not mean that the protected characteristic of sex has changed.
