Christianity is defined by its religious scripture, the Old and the New Testament. Judaism is defined by the Torah(OT) and the Talmud, Islam by the Koran, and Mormonism by the Book of Mormon.
I can very clearly draw you Venn Diagrams that show these are not the same, even if the Venn diagram for Islam covers OT and NT.

quote:
You either are a woman or not.

You are either a Christian or you are not.

quote:
If you are born a man, you can have all the surgery you want, but you are still biologically a man.

If you follow anything but Christianity you are a non Christian.

quote:
Systems of belief are open to interpretation by everyone. There are as many systems of belief as there are human beings, because every human being has a belief system that is unique to them alone.

No Christian believes that, the concept is Satanic.
There is one true catholic (lower case) faith that's how its always been. We admit we may be wrong about our interpretations, but the only thing that matters is the Faith left to us from Christ.

quote:
That is not to say that belief systems cannot be grouped by commonality. They definitely can be and are. For example, the Catholic Church is one grouping of common beliefs, and yet every Catholic has beliefs that are unique to them.

Again, thats a Satanic mindset and no Christian believes that.

quote:
So, your belief is that Mormons are not Christians, but Mormons believe that they are.

No, by the definition of Christianity passed down they are not Christians as defined by what Christians are.
Just because I believe a male is not a woman and you believe they are does not make your views equal to my insisting that the historical definition of woman must be respected.

quote:
Human beings cannot sit in judgement of each other regarding their differences in beliefs because humans are not qualified to make that judgement.

Again that's completely ignorant of the New Testament, Jesus, Paul, and the rest of the authors constantly told the Church to be on guard against deceiving people.

quote:

Galatians 1
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

quote:
If Jesus is an actual entity,

Said no Christian ever, you obviously have no idea what Christianity is.

quote:
then only Jesus can determine who qualifies as a Christian

But you just said,

quote:
Systems of belief are open to interpretation by everyone.

This is really sad if you somehow think you are being logical, you are a logical mess.

quote:
No human being can make that determination on his behalf.

There is a difference between someone claiming to beleive only Christianity, and someone claiming to follow another holy book.
The first is hard, the second is well defined, Christ intended for Christians to know Him and how to follow him.
This is really basic and you don't seem to get that.
Most obviously because you not only are not a Christian, you seem to be wholly unfamiliar with it.
