Leftists are happy to argue this one, actually. They consider sex and gender to be different, so a person's body can be male but their mind can be a woman's. Woman =/= female, man =/= male. Woman is gender, female is sex. Changing the sex to conform with the gender is not a contradiction for leftists, it harmonizes gender and sex.
If sex and gender are different and they were "real women" from the start, how would sexual surgeries "confirm" the gender they wish?
I think all the changes are supposed to make them more passing, so a greater number of outsiders will assume the claimed sex/gender instead of the original, and that's supposed to be better for peace of mind or something (that doesn't end up being true).
I don't think many leftists argue that gender and sex aren't "supposed" to be aligned, after all, they're the only ones promoting surgeries, hormone treatments, etc. I think they generally agree you can be a woman trapped in a man's body, and that treatment can "free" them so they feel more at home in their bodies. That alignment is the "confirmation."
And I agree, it doesn't make sense.
Gender is the expression of sex in language.
Like all communists, trans activists corrupt language to support their ideology.
Gender was the polite term for sex until some pedophile in the 70s muddied it up.
"Gender" was coined by pedophiles John Money and Alfred Kinsey in the 1950's.
In that usage. The correct use of the term for classifying nouns in languages like French goes way back. Le formage is masculin. La cigarette is féminin.
Demons casting spells to control the normies.
That’s not entirely inaccurate. Humans have trouble thinking about a concept for which there isn’t a well-defined term. Leftists steal words in order to control how we think.
If there’s no word for the concept: adult human female (because they stole the word “woman” and applied it to a different concept) then you can’t have policies or spaces for adult human females; you can’t distinguish adult human females from adolescent human females for purposes such as consent - it’s a really powerful hex they’ve placed on us.
They do this with a lot of things.
People consider "witchcraft" and "sorcery" to be about casting magic spells in fantasy books....but the leftist manipulation of language is literally that. It's manipulation and it's mind control.
If gender is a social construct, and nothing is inherently male or female, then how does putting on a dress or liking sports make you male or female? I can be a man and wear pigtails. I can be a woman and chew tobacco. Since none of it is determined by sex or gender, how could doing them change your sex or gender?
"I'm not doing this"

"Sorry xir, but this chopper ride isn't actually optional. Get in."
the answer to that is simple: their definition of man and woman is self-referential. "a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman" etc.
of course, another way to describe a self-referential word is "meaningless".
What does identifying as a woman mean?

That is true, but isn't their entire point about "women with penises" that biological sex doesn't matter?
Also, the 'gender' ideas they have are also pretty contradictory. It's a social construct and it's what's in your head.
"Maybe we should measure people's brains to see if we can confirm whether or not they are telling the truth about having the wrong body."

"Whoa, members of this racial demographic have a tiny frontal cortex."
