Again, this assumes gender is biological, not social and cultural.
Not at all. I just asked Ko3 whether he felt that, if his body was involuntarily surgically altered to that of a woman, whether he would then think of himself as a woman or as a man who had been surgically altered.
The question doesn't assume anything about the root causes of why Ko3 thinks of himself as a man today. Just to imagine, as a thought experiment, what it would feel like to have his current brain but be in the body of a woman. Whether having the physiology of a female would change his internal conception of himself as male....or not.
