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.
This goes back to why so much misunderstanding of reality is rooted in evolution and why far too often our societal scripts cause us from seeing the "different" as being the "out group".
We fail to see the reality of evolution as being a range. We confuse the pattern of being in a majority as being right, when it is merely a number in part of a range.
If there were no diversity in evolution, it would not occur at all.
For the most part we have evolved with more males and females with definitive body/brain makeup. But for those who are bi/gay/trans, they are not "different", they are merely a minority as part of a presentation of evolution. Like being left handed vs right handed or albino. Just a lower ratio of output.
