All of these arguments would be improved with semantics. Male / Female = Biology. Man / Woman = Gender. That said, if there is no relationship between sex and gender (biology and self concept) why is there any need for "Gender confirmation surgery" at all?

Yep, I completely agree. So much of the toxicity in this debate is because people don’t understand this difference. I was accused of “misgendering” somebody recently because I referred to them as male. We can’t have a conversation about these issues if we can’t agree on what the language means.
