It seems that it does: men are not women with different plumbing! Plumbing is determined by whether you have XX or XY chromosomes. (Entirely? I don’t know.) Now the brain _might_ get its gender in exactly the same way the plumbing does. In that case it’s hard to see how a person could have the plumbing of one gender and the brain of another. But what if the brain gets its gender – at least in part - in some other way? In that case a person could end up with the plumbing of one gender and the brain of the other. Do I need to point out that this would not be their fault? Do you know for certain that the gender of your plumbing and the gender of your brain came from exactly the same source? Beyond a shadow of a doubt? I doubt it. I doubt if anyone knows yet. If you have any doubt at all you might be blaming the victim. My guess – my hope - is you don’t want to do that.

Can't we move on to normal and important things. There are so many sad stories about the consequences of immoral sexual behavior,you would think they would try being normal, but as long as they get all the attention in the world they are not going to stop.
