      And we call it sex change surgery despite not changing your chromosomes (which is what 99.9% of the “biological sex” people refer to). If your point is the language is flawed, I agree. If your point is that the flawed language is accurate, I don’t. What is sex? If your answer has anything that is modified by hormones then you agree that sex is much more complicated than a single binary, and biological sex is a misleading, oversimplified, and inaccurate term.
