Amazing, with many posts here, only you and one other even mention that chromosomes/genes/DNA determine what sex a person really is. Like everything else, damage can mutate what the DNA is saying.

I pretty much agree that surgical solutions are not great ways to address things, but if ever a good candidate for cosmetic surgery existed this may be it...

It's scarey to me that so few people even know girls are XX and boys are XY. Is the MSM having an effect on peoples ability to reason or what?

Are you saying that those of us who fail to mention chromosomes don't know about them?

It's not that simple. What about someone who's XXXY? Do you know what sex someone like that will identify with?

That's because it isn't a simple matter of checking the chromosomes. Prenatal hormones have such an effect on the way our brains develop, the child could still wind up having been made the wrong sex.
