What's the point of gender reassignment surgery which doesn't change a person's chromosomes?

Corollary: sex and gender in humans is actually floridly-complex and occasionally very messy.

So what happens inside “gender-affirming care” depends upon the patient’s lived experience. However, it’s been demonstrated conclusively by a century of psychiatry trying to change transgender patients’ gender identity to match their physical anatomy does not work and in most cases only worsens their mental health, especially in minors.

All of these variations have an effect on the person’s neuropsychology and thus their experience of their sex & gender.

Can Donald Trump use the Alien Friends Act of 1798 to give ALL illegal immigrants an ultimatum: You have 1 month to leave America, after which you will be arrested and jailed for 3 years?

It doesn’t have to change chromosomes, because chromosomes do not determine sex.

This can include the SRY gene being defective, being blocked by other mutations, being on the X chromosome instead of the Y, or missing altogether.

It’s usually found at the tip of the Y chromosome (which is why we thought sex was in chromosomes), but there are a number of variations that will change a person’s anatomical sex, neurological sex, chromosomal sex, and genetic sex.

How can one translate "You're welcome" from English to French using formal language? Are there any other ways to say this phrase in a more polite manner?

In other words, these different levels don’t always sync-up. It is possible for your brain, your body, and your genetics to have different biological sexes.

The single thing that does determine sex is the SRY gene. Its discovery in 1990 changed everything science thought it knew about sex in placental mammals.
