But what if he is a dude chromsomally, externally etc. but decides he's a "woman" and dresses up as a woman?

Thats a transvestite is it not. THats what Jenner is

This is true, but I think the difference is that a transvestite lives their life as a male, but secretly or selectively dresses as a female. (Just using that as an example, male to female.)

A transgendered person is someone who assumes a different identity entirely. I'm not an expert in this (I did study psychology, and wrote a paper on transgender folk.) but as I said above: I think these kinds of distinctions are more for politically correctness and sparing of feelings, and not so much for what's objective biologically or categorically.

We know he is a man. He knows he is a man. Why should we let some adult play dress up, and praise or admonish it in any way? Psychology is slipping in this field, to the point where it loses credibility.
