I read an amazing Twitter thread (since deleted, I suspect) from a guy who had “transitioned” and had all the surgery, hormones, etc…and was in constant physical pain, socially dysfunctional, miserable and suicidal after the “transition.” He is attempting to “detransition” now, which in his case would mean stopping the hormones, since the aggressive “reconstruction” mutilations have already been done. But as he said, you really can’t change what you are born, because every cell of your body is programmed to be that person…sex included.
Gender is for nouns in many languages and your choice of adjectives and forms of address depends on the gender. But this is not true in English. We do not have gendered nouns.
But in any language and in reality, we have only two sexes. Male and female He created them.
