Does a conversion to Judaism by one sect have validity in all other sects?
Prioktan918
Adding somewhat to the response from Prioktan 918, while Orthodox Jews are most likely to accept a conversion supervised by Orthodox rabbis, the Conservative movement is more concerned with the nature of the conversion. If the traditional requirements of study, immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath), circumcision for a man and appearance before a bet din (rabbinic court) are followed, the conversion is likely to be accepted, whether conducted by Conservative, Reconstructionist or Reform rabbi.

∙ 7y agoNOT NECESSARILY. Conversions to Judaism generally have a "downstream" validity, but not an "upstream" validity. This is to say that an Orthodox Jewish conversion is the most stringent type of conversion and, therefore, will be recognized by Conservative and Reform Jews. Conversely, a conversion to Reform Judaism will not be recognized by Orthodox Jews and will likely not be recognized by Conservative Jews.

Is humanistic judaism a recognized sect of the Jewish religion?
Humanistic Judaism is new as an organized group (it began in 1963), and while other non-orthodox sects refrain from officially condemning it, they generally do not see it as a religious denomination, but more of a social denomination. Due to the high rate of intermarriage, and the lax rules for conversion (in some cases non-existent), most individual Jews of other sects do not recognize humanistic Judaism as valid. Some Jewish sociologists believe that in a few generations, the members of humanistic Judaism won't even identify themselves with mainstrain Judaism.

From what I know: Maybe, especially in more "modern" and liberal sects of Judaism. The more liberal sects generally support transgender people, and I should think that it's a small step from support to saying that one can become a rabbi. As for cantor, I'm not sure.
