Ok, so next question...
Can you determine from a blood test the sex of a person? Without knowing anything else about the person that the blood came from?
And if so, do "transgender" people continue to exhibit those sex traits in their blood? Or do the hormones that they take cover up those results?

Ya know, I would expect people to have a basic understanding of things like this...

In short, yes the genetic differences between men and women are very easy to detect. There is no way to change your sex. All you can do is have yourself butchered by plastic surgeons and take massive amounts of hormones in an effort to make yourself look like the opposite sex.
Is this mean to say? No, it's the height of compassion. Let me give you an example. A close female friend of mine has a rather dysfunctional 20 something daughter who is dating some girl who is pretending to be a guy. (I barely know the daughter and have barely spoken to the "boyfriend" so it's not like I know her well.) So, you have this poor deluded girl in her early 20s taking God knows how many hormones and hormone blockers in an effort to me a man. Well, she has managed to grow a really sparse beard and seems to be pretty flat chested, (No idea if this is surgical, hormonal, natural, or a combination of all three) so she can maybe pass as a really wimpy and effete teenaged boy.
But, whatever makes her happy, right?
Until you start to think of this poor girl who is going to spend the rest of her life taking these hormones and pretending to be what she's not. Her body is going to constantly be fighting her efforts, trying to produce more hormones to counteract the effects of the unnatural ones she is taking. Those kinds of things screw with your body, destroy your health, mess up your mind. It doesn't matter how much society accepts her, she is going to have a rather miserable and probably short and unhappy life as a result.
OK, so maybe that's the best she can do. Maybe she has to do this to find any happiness in the world... That may be true, it's not for me to say. But I do know that your early 20s is too early to be making those kinds of decisions.
Buying into people's deluded fantasies doesn't help, it just encourages people to make bad decisions.
