Research at the Johns Hopkins Children Center has shown that gender identity is almost entirely based on nature and is almost exclusively predetermined before the birth of the baby. Two studies conducted by William Reiner, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and urologist, have confirmed that the amount of exposure to male hormones and androgens in utero almost exclusively decides whether the child identifies as masculine or feminine. ...

Reiner comments on the results of the studies stating, “These studies suggest that male gender identity is directly related to normal male patterns of male hormone exposure in utero. These children demonstrate that normal male gender identity can develop not only in the absence of the penis, but even after the removal of testicles or castration at birth, and unequivocal rearing as female. Rather than the environment forming these children’s gender identity, their identity and gender role seem to have developed despite a total environment telling them they were female.” These and consequent other studies have caused the scientific community to reevaluate their belief that gender identity is constructed through “nurture”. Most scientists now believe that gender identity is something that is predetermined by a biological aspect and cannot be chosen for a child.

So this is saying that innate gender identity does not necessarily correspond to genitalia.

99.99% genitals match gender but of course it is ultimately determined by the hormone levels, even in absence of the usual genitalia. And you can def shift a male closer to female and vice versa via extreme hormone therapy (not to be confused with supplemental hormone therapy to improve health in certain conditions) , but this is very unhealthy and should not be supported by the hippocratoc oath. But if you're an adult I guess you are free to mutilate and hormonally change yourself. Just don't do it to children or teens.

Flags a flying all over this mess.
This needs a conservative duplicate objective study by researchers detached from the subject matter...
