AnswerYes, you can have an operation. Answer:Yes and No.

Society and organizations (government, church, civic organizations) tend to define Sex and Gender as the same or interchangeable.

Sex = what's between your legs.

Orientation = what sex turns you on (same or different)

For some people Gender = What's in your head: what sex you perceive yourself as.

For others, Gender = What's between your legs.

The problem comes in when a person was born with certain sexual organs and their personal identity (I am Man! I am Woman!) doesn't match those organs. This is when the term gender gets used relating to the mind and not the body.

In most states in the US you can change the sex showing on your legal documents. Some allow a new birth certificate with the new sex to be issued, others allow only amended birth certificates, while others (very few) allow no change to birth certificate at all. If you use the term gender to be equal to sexual organs a person has yes you can change gender; if you say gender is a construct of the mind, then no you cannot change genders.
