Irrespective of what you cut-off or add-on, or what hormones you artificially increase or minimize, it is a genetic impossibility to "change" your gender. Gender is hard-coded into our DNA; you either have an X chromosome, or you don't. It's that simple.

And... btw... changing a person's anatomy isn't a cure for underlying psychological trauma.

I had a long time friend who "changed."

The rationalizations for changing were full of errors and I only have disdain for the shrink that filled his head with falsities and egged him on.

No matter how many hormones he takes and how he disfigures himself he will always have XY.

Agreed 100%. I know someone who went through the “transformation”. The “therapist” who helped “guide him through the journey” was so full of it that it was sickening. As you said, the rationalizations were ridiculous. All the underlying issues are still there, btw, completely untouched.
