Since the time of Dr. Money, understanding of the [[human genome]] has advanced and we now know that a child's sex is fixed from the point of conception, and is inscribed in every cell of his or her body. Each cell contains either two "X" chromosomes (indicating a female), or one "X" and one "Y" chromosome (indicating a male); this genetic marker of gender cannot be changed. Hormones present in the womb may influence secondary sexual characteristics, but nothing can change the sex of a child, or of an adult. There is a growing body of evidence that attempting to do so is harmful and innumerable cases of ex-transsexuals who regret and try to reverse their decision.

Not all feminists agree with gender theory, despite the fact that feminists such as Judith Butler advocate for it. However, there is a deep ideological divide and vigorous war of words between transsexuals and radical feminists who do not accept biological men as "women".
