That's just it. The answer is
no. They appear to have the parts, but they can't have children, they're stuck on a regimen of drugs for the rest of their lives, and when they find out it isn't what they want, there's no going back. They're stuck.
I'm not very medically literate, so maybe you can answer this: is there any prospective or even speculative technology or technique that could make "real" sex change possible in the future (aside from completely out there soft scifi stuff like transferring consciousness into a cloned body)? Like, maybe gene therapy or whatever?
Wasn't my area, but I haven't heard about anything that even comes close. It's not even as simple as swapping out half the body's genetic material and changing it without accidentally giving someone cancer or a genetic disease in the process. You'd basically have to liquefy them and rebuild them. Even the structure of the
brain is different between men and women, which you'd need to fix because of hormone regulation.
As an Educated Wild Assed Guess? Not less than eighty years. Probably more like a hundred and eighty.
If someone actually goes to all the trouble of changing their body to perve in some bathroom (lots of $) then they have problems.
That's not the issue we were discussing about bathrooms. Agree about the thing with the parts, because sending someone that looks like a man into a women's restroom is asking for an incident.
What we've been discussing is the at least one(I read about one. There may be more that I haven't read about) sexual assault a man that claimed to be Trans perpetrated on a woman when he wandered into a womens' bathroom.
Eh, for sports I guess its something for the people who run it to decide. I don't know enough sciency shit to judge whether it gives an unfair advantage or not (for instance, i'd imagine chess or ping pong are distinctly less affected)
There's actually a recent journal article that was published in ... Australia, I think, about this issue. Don't remember where I read it now, but the short version is that even after hormone therapy, Trans people that used to be male have an advantage over cis-women. A big one. Because they went through puberty as a male and thus have the physiological changes that brings about.
Edit:
Found it. Also, it was Kiwis, not Aussies. Plz don't kill me.
