Plastic surgery and chemical changes upon a body ≠ changing someone's root DNA, and equipping them will full reproductive capabilities representative of their new sex.
1. "reproductive capabilities" is not a requirement to be male or female - ie you can be born "barren", unable to conceive a child as a man or a woman.
2. DNA is not what defines gender. Yes, the body uses DNA to decide upon which gender it is, but DNA doesn't matter. We can recognize people who are intersex, even though they are still biologically male or female. In some animals it is possible to be truly an hermaphrodite, despite the fact that DNA should give you a more limitative answer. DNA/Biological gender can be mismatched.
