    She’s right – surgery doesn’t change gender.

    It only helps one’s body conform to the gender they already are. Getting surgery doesn’t turn a man into a woman (or vice versa). They were already a woman, and the surgery just helps them look and feel like it. A trans woman doesn’t become a woman when she gets a surgery – she becomes a woman when she realizes she’s trans (or, rather, realizing she’s trans reveals to her that she was always a woman).

      Exactly.

      Brainwiring/gender is above-the-neck, & sex is below-the-waist gonads.

      They are distinct.

      The gaslighters who insist that one’s “identity” overrides one’s body, are gaslighting.

      Having people get the wrong medical-treatment because their gender-identity is all that is shown on their medical-chart, so they’re being treated for male problems, while pregnant…

      that whole category of problem is created by the falseness/artifice of “identity is the only reality” ideology/religion.

      BOTH need to be identified, & BOTH have validity.
