Using sophistry to further the lie that people can change sex.
Jerry Coyne's Takedown of the tweet by the SciAm editor
Gender Affirmation surgery doesn’t change these
(nor do cross-sex hormones)
Gender Affirmation surgery doesn't change these, either
(Again, nor do cross-sex hormones)
Wikipedia truth that has not been edited to lie:
Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a surgical procedure, or series of procedures, that alters a transgender or transsexual person's physical appearance and sexual characteristics to resemble1those associated with their identified gender, and alleviate gender dysphoria. It is also known as sex reassignment surgery (SRS), gender confirmation surgery (GCS), and several other names.
Professional medical organizations have established Standards of Care, which apply before someone can apply for and receive reassignment surgery, including psychological evaluation, and a period of real-life experience living in the desired gender.
(How did that slip by the editors?)
