And my articles on the corruption of various Statistics departments -- including New Zealand's, and, sadly, Canada's own -- and on, more generally, the increasing prevalence of outright Lysenkoism

IF we were to redefine sex so reproductive ability wasn't an essential trait -- as too many are clearly trying to do -- THEN, sure, change your genitalia, change your sex. But much of biology, if not all of it, is based on understanding evolution, a central or essential element of which is, of course, reproduction.
People aren't obliged to reproduce, of course. But to trick autistic and dysphoric children into thinking that mangling their genitalia turns them into the opposite sex has to qualify as a medical scandal of the first water, a crime of the century. Bunch of "doctors" should lose their licenses, if not be strung up by their nuts and left to twist in the wind.
Likewise agree with your comments about sexual dimorphism. ICYMI, very good article here -- even just the abstract and introduction -- on how the evolution of that dimorphism goes back some billion years to two fundamentally and profoundly different types of gametes:
