Sex is immutable, you are aware that sex is more than the appearance of sex organs right?

That thing that’s more than biology you’re thinking of is the construct of gender. 🤦‍♂️

Nothing is immutable. Nothing is unchanging. Even the constant of the universe can be altered.

I am referring to all the other physiological factors. The appearance of an organ and the actual function are two different things, carving a heart to look externally like a kidney does not make it a kidney.

It’s funny how you understand sex is more than genitals then claim it’s set in stone. It’s like 8 different things and we can change most of them.

Fine in the distant future when bioengineering allows one to shape shift down to the genetic level, one could change their sex, but we do not live in such a scifi future.

Sex is a combination of genetic, hormonal, anatomical, skeletal, dermal, muscular, trichoic, and arguably neurological factors. Most of those things are to some degree malleable, and in any case their grouping under the construct “sex” is social. Sex IS a social construct. It was not written on the bones of the universe in permanent marker that there would be males and females. Sex is a correlation that humans noticed, connected, and gave a name to.

Perhaps you are instead thinking of genotype. Which yes, is largely immutable barring retroviruses and new technologies, but trans people have conclusively proven that genotype is not the same as phenotype.

By the way, biohackers have already started using CRISPR on themselves for fun.
