DNA does have a role to play in the sex of a person, regardless of what they want to be known as gender-wise. Its a small percentage of cells that determine the sex of someone and the cells aren't manipulated when a someone wants to change their gender and go through reassignment surgery, they get hormone treatment instead.
The normal view out there by many people is that sex and gender are intertwined as one, and while many transgender people do get abused for who they are it is wrong to assume that everyone who has a view against it actually thinks like those who openly say/post negative comments. Its a shame that trans people get so much abuse but its not fear, its misunderstanding that causes people to react the way they do.
Many people just believe that you cannot claim to be the opposite gender to what sex you were born as, it doesn't make them all haters but it often gets them opinions like them being transphobic, bigoted etc. I'll probably get a little bit of hate on my own view (and usually stay out of threads like these because of that) but it is pretty much what I've written in the previous sentence, but I've still treated trans people with the same respect as others in the open world as my view isn't relevant to them. You can disagree and still be civil with people.
