Amazing MTF Transgender Transformations

I can be a somewhat deplorable person sometimes. But I'm not going to make matters worse, myself, by refusing to agree that someone with gender dysphoria, who took the necessary steps and is now happy, is a different gender.

Not gentically. Did they lose or gain an X or Y on chromosome 23 when they had their gender reassignment?

That's one way to define things. But it has limitations.
We must recognize that gender is more complex than the usual
simple alternatives of XY & XX. There are other genetic variations,
eg, XXY. There are also developmental / environmental complexities.
Does the XX portion make one male, or does the XY portion make one
female? It would be arbitrary to pick one or the other.

Another more functional way to determine gender....
Regardless of genes, if one's brain is female, & one's body is male,
then changing the body to match the brain makes the individual
female. This is to designate gender by phenotype rather than
genotype.



Not XX and not XY one in 1,666 births
Klinefelter (XXY) one in 1,000 births
Androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 13,000 births
Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 130,000 births
Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia one in 13,000 births
Late onset adrenal hyperplasia one in 66 individuals
Vaginal agenesis one in 6,000 births
Ovotestes one in 83,000 births
Idiopathic (no discernable medical cause) one in 110,000 births
Iatrogenic (caused by medical treatment, for instance progestin administered to pregnant mother) no estimate
5 alpha reductase deficiency no estimate
Mixed gonadal dysgenesis no estimate
Complete gonadal dysgenesis one in 150,000 births
Hypospadias (urethral opening in perineum or along penile shaft) one in 2,000 births
Hypospadias (urethral opening between corona and tip of glans penis) one in 770 births

Total number of people whose bodies differ from standard male or female one in 100 births
Total number of people receiving surgery to “normalize” genital appearance one or two in 1,000 births

I realize there are sometimes difficulties, but if a person does NOT have the exceptional 23rd chromosome, they are genetically male or female.

the x y chromosomes don't determine sex alone. there are a lot of factors involved


and just to make you aware, all infants in utero start out female phenotype. all males have the same equipment as all females, they've just been rearranged to look different and/or function a little different.


phoebe is actually genotype xy, or what you assume as male. but as you see, she is a physically a female

The Italian Law requires sex reassignment surgery for those who want to have their name changed.

I think it is a right law.

Odd. What is the reasoning?

.,
Let's say (hypothethically) a man and a woman are married. Then the man wants to become a woman, but still remains married to his wife.

Let's say after the transition, these two people still have sex because the man hasn't undergone surgery...abd they make a child.

How should the baby consider his parents? Two lesbians who made him in a strange way?

I am speaking of precise cases...which happen to be not that rare in the US.

That is why the Italian Law says: want to change Gender legally? Sterilization first

...or they could just not make gender at all relevant to marriage clauses or parent clauses, at the US has.

We have universal free healthcare unlike the US so the citizen is relevant for our system.


Btw...I am speaking juridically. If a MtF is happy with having a M in her ID, good for her:)

Why would universal healthcare call for tying gender to gonads? Or anything really? Gender is not the same as sex is basic trans rights statements. So why do you need your ID to reflect your dangly bits?

I respect anyone's identities. Deeply.

Nobody can deny though that during intercourse there is a passive part, usually the woman and an active part, the man.

I identify as passive part, that us why I underwent surgery.

And people are free to consider themselves whatever they want:)

Even if I accepted that this is necessarily how romantic relationships work (and I don't) what does this have to do with requiring a sex change for an ID change? If we are respecting identity then gonads don't matter.

Oh, you mean; The Italian Law requires those who have sex reassignment surgery have their name changed. Is that correct?
