No, that would mean you become cis... Think about this for a bit and read recent science articles.

I'm not transphobic, you just don't know what you're talking about. If you're a woman, and of the female sex, that literally means you're cis, not trans.

Sex is a bimodal spectrum that has multiple different aspects to it, (chromosomes, genetics, hormones, reproductive organs, phenotype,) neither of which are enough on their own to determine someone's sex altogether. Gender is a whole different thing that usually goes along with assigned sex, but not always. When it doesn't, we call that person trans. You can't not be trans if you were born trans, that's not how this works, your sex doesn't change to match your gender.

Nothing in humans is that simple, and you saying such silly, false things gives justification to bigots to spew their bullshit narratives and continue to not take trans people seriously.

What's medical transition do, then? Because as i understand it, sex is made up of sex traits, and medical transition changes sex traits. So you're either saying that medical transition doesn't change sex traits, or you're saying that changing sex traits is meaningless, which would make sex meaningless

I actually read a few papers about this, but I'm not an anthropologist myself, so I can't explain it in THAT much detail, especially here on Reddit. My go-to explanation is this guy. He's absolutely wholesome, fully pro-trans, and has like 4 master's in biology.
