Genetics say hi. No matter how many operations they'd go through, in the end their chromosomes will still be the same. 

You assume that science will forever remain still.

Besides, men can have female (XX rather than XY) chromosomes.

Oh, not at all. But currently it's not possible, and I doubt it will be in the near future. In any case, biotechnologists have better stuff to do than attempt to accomplish that.

The second part of your statement is not really an argument. I assume you're refering to XX male syndrome, that appears in less than 1 in 25.000 males. This genetic disorder means that even though the person has two X chromosomes, the SRY gene is still present on one X chromosome. And even DESPITE that, most such males are normal, except infertility. Ergo, the genes on the chromosome are what's important, not the chromosome itself.

Being fair, I admit that I simplified that in my first reply, but I didn't think someone would split hairs, because it was obvious what I meant. A genetic male (yes, even an XX male) is gonna stay a genetic male, no matter the number of operations. I hope this clears it up.
