A body control schema tells you about your hardware. As you note, a sex-specific body map doesn't appear to set a gender identity. When the machine is telling you about it's gender, it's telling you about something else.
If we're looking at embodied cognition, brains don't just not exist in a vat - they also don't just exist in a body. They exist in a society. Cis and transgendered brains are not telling us that they're unclear or mistaken about the status of their sex organs - our body maps aren't inaccurate. Perhaps they're telling us which of the constructed genders they're embodied as in their societies?
Attention control. Apprehending how we feel, and what our society says about feeling that way, so that we can then attend to navigating the relationship between those two things.
