An Argument Against the Coherency of Transexualism/ The Hermaphrodite Argument

1. The genes X & Y are necessary for determining sex in humans.
2. Any S possessing a Y gene is a male.
3. Therefore, All Ss without Y genes are non-males.

1. Functioning sex organs are sufficient conditions for determining sex in humans.
2. Any S possessing functioning male sex organs is sufficiently a Male.
3. Any S possessing functioning female sex organs is sufficiently a Female.
4. Therefore, Any S possessing both functioning F and M sex organs is sufficiently M and F.

1. Gender is the possessing of a greater inclination towards feminine or masculine traits.
2. Feminine and masculine traits are determined by a society.
3. Sex influences the ascription of feminine and masculine traits.
3. Therefore, gender is determined by society, but is influenced by sex.

I created these arguments as a way to lay out the logic behind sex and gender but I am not sure if they both do what I want them to. They are meant to express that S can affect the gender they posess, but not their sex. However, even if a gender is different than S's sex, S's sexual identity is still encoded in their DNA. Thus, while a hermaphrodite is male, they are also sufficiently female. Either gender they choose would be aligned with their sexual identity. An additional consequence of this argument is that you cannot change your sexual identity without changing your genes.
