You must be a child or something or maybe English isn't your first language.
Natural chimeraism or natural hermaphroditism has nothing at all to do with the hypothetical question I posed, and I notice, it's not the prompt that you fed into your A.I.
Take some ESL courses, it would help you maybe.
It has everything to do with the question you asked, your acid test:
"Is a man who surgically or chemically castrates himself and believes himself to be a woman, actually a woman?"
Some people, by chance - luck of the draw, may have had something physical happen at conception or during birth. These happenings have been going on for a long time. For hermaphrodites, the surgeon used to choose their sex and alter them at birth, so the castration or alteration occurred then. If the surgeon made them into a woman, didn't we call them women? I don't know how the process was done, I don't even know if or what they told the parents. Nor do I know what we did down through the ages before the surgeries. But if the surgeon altered them, we accepted that.
That 10% chimera is new to us, but it's been happening all along. We only see what's visual at birth and that's hermaphrodites. We may have some educated guesses as to how trans happen, but I've lived in societies where trans are accepted, and it isn't difficult. The odds are great that some of your childhood friends were gay, trans, or hermaphrodites, and your question is just a phobia. Get over it.
