if you get a sex change, do you actually change sex? (state, female)

[leangk]

I think not....

i gave one solid arguemnts. one was that a man and women have different sex chromosomes, the main thing that seperates us. so if you gave an operation to a dog, and gave it a more horselike sexual appendage as well as gave it a more horselike appearence, is it a horse?? of course not! looka t the chromosomes.. so why then would making a women look like a man be any different??

Making one look like, vice actually making one is mixing apples and oranges.

Does it really matter?

If someone feels they are male when they have a female body or female with a male body, they can change their sex by surgery, hormones, etc.

They are already feeling that they ARE that other sex. That's all that matters, IMO. It doesn't need to be so "technical" as you're proposing.

actually it does... there are crazy people who truly believe they are the reincranation of napoleon or a butterfly. I know the philosophy about waht you believe is true, is true. and its you who decides your reality, not the other way around..

however jsut because i "feel" like something, doesnt mean I am it.

and it is concerning when we dismiss science and reality, and say "this women is now a man", for the sake of being accepting and kind. "she" is not a mna. shes a women who had a surgery to look more manely. thats it thats all

Uhh, there are women out there with XY chromosomes from birth. Does that mean they're really not women?

The default state for all human fetuses is female, and the same structures develop into either the male or female sex organs early in development. Normally the switch to male is triggered by the Y chromosome early in development, but its presence alone doesn't guarantee that the fetus will turn out male. If for some reason the trigger doesn't happen, then they will continue on to develop into female sex organs and for all intents and purposes, the baby will be female.

It's funny what people decide to obsess over.

Well if you look at it this way, "You get to lose your virginity a second time" . Mybe you can sell it on Ebay.

If a person looks "more manely" does that mean that they start to resemble a lion?

I can't answer any of the questions. I can only assume no matter which way it goes its gotta hurt something fierce. What I wonder at that moment is there a feeling of regret???
More power to them if it helps them like themselves better.
