I'm seeing this and it's raising questions for me about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Is CBT considered along the lines of conversation therapy for people "stuck in the other gender's brain"?

Isn't DNA the determining factor for sex? Period? I mean there are optimal ranges within a variety of bloodwork panels for men and women: hematocrit, hemoglobin, uric acid, creatnine, total cholesterol, etc..

This article is just an example, but does being on transitionary hormones change the requirements for these tests as well?

Do trans people really consider CBT conversion therapy?

I've been wondering about the tests, too, which value do trans people use for their blood tests? How do they know is their hemoglobin is normal or not?

I honestly don't know if they do or not, but there's a shit ton of gender affirming CBT articles that I came across when I was looking earlier. I would think that if you need to convince yourself thay you're another gender that the being a transperson deal should be a no-go.

Right? Like isn't this shit kind of important to keep up with, and why bio sex should be kept up with in medical records?
