An individual identifying as a male, in regards to sex, does not change the fact on the matter anymore than I claiming to be a descendant of the tribes of Karakorum makes it true - these things are dictated by biology, not opinion.
"Male' is defined - in a biological sense - as, "of-or-related to the sex which cannot birth young or produce eggs."
This is the definition you would find in the OED before 2020; in the Britannica before the 1990s, and in any dictionary, thesaurus, almanac or encyclopedia before the 1940s - and realistically, the 90s across the board when the UN/WHO began changing their own internal definitions.
Hormones do not change your DNA and thus cannot change your sex; nor will mutilation of your genitals.
You can force your body through expensive, experimental, ethically dubious and unquestionably manipulative medical practices to become more "male/female *passing,*" but the fundamental DNA is not changed by the surgery and ultimately does not change your sex.
