So, does that mean that individuals who are transsexual, who go through hormones and surgery, remain the gender of their birth, regardless of what they have gone through or identify as? I know a lot of people who would have a problem with that. Are you saying that a persons gender is determined at birth by genetics?

My understanding is that sex may be constant and fixed (though it can be made to appear different), but gender is not, it changes over time, based on our experiences and cultural context.
