As long as you have gendered socialization I don't think it would ever be possible for adults to change sex even if they could theoretically in all physical ways. I suppose theoretically you could take a baby in some future world and change their chromosomes and biology to make them the other sex but that ability seems like something that would have nothing to do with trans people and would be highly abused if sexism still existed in that world the way it does in ours (note that the belief that this would ever even be possible is actually contrary to gender identity ideology as it assumes that no "gender essence" exists and gender is completely socially constructed).

That makes a lot of sense. Gendered socialization certainly has impacts on how we develop, and that's not something a medical sex change could create (unless we start getting into trans-humanist territory but that seems a little out of scope). I definitely can see how the potential for "complete" sex changes could actually be a danger, especially for a society rooted in sexism.
