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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

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.

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