That _doesn't_ mean that no one should transition (_i.e._, try to approximate changing sex with hormonal and surgical interventions)! A lot of people do it—I'm not, like, denying that they _exist_. It seems to work out pretty well for many of them! Maybe _more_ people should do it!
But in order for someone to _figure out_ whether or not to do it—and in order for the people they interact with to figure out how to react—it would probably help to _get the theory right_: the biology and psychology and sociology and cognitive science and political science of what sex and gender actually _are_ in the real physical universe, and under what conditions they might actually in-fact be changed. Get the theory right _first_, and _then_ use the theory to make the best decisions.
