If a surgery changes their chromosome then they change sex too.

What if I tell you I don't care what sex you are or you think you are.

Now you've completely changed your definition in the course of a few minutes, but you still don't want to change your beliefs. Funny how that works. Imagining what your new definition will be, what if you have any of these sex chromosome anomalies, as more than 2 out of every thousand humans do? What if you use gene therapy to change your chromosomes but don't alter your anatomy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_chromosome_anomalies

Then why are you making a big deal of trying to define it for others and supporting those trying to legislate who can believe what?

If you can change sex without changing chromosomes, I would really like to know how it is possible to produce sperm not being male.

I was only stating definition of male and female. If someone believes for example, they are Apache Helicopter, good for them.

Here is somebody who wasn't male according to your original definition producing sperm after surgery. https://www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/09/testicle-transplant-s...

Certainly. That's no skin off my back, just like people believing in magical invisible beings and praying to them doesn't affect anybody else. Both groups can believe what they like.

Legislating who gets to identify as what when it's not hurting anybody does make society worse, just like the people who believe in magical invisible beings legislating what everyone else can do based on the voices they hear in their heads also make society worse. That is a problem worth fighting against.
