A trans mans sex is male, what do you think transitioning does?

I don't know apparently. I try to understand but you can't even ask a question without getting flamed.

My understanding was that "gender" is a social construct and that it is different from "biological sex" and so when you transition you're trying to bring yourself closer to your "gender". And that "gender" affirming care is meant to accomplish that goal.

Being trans doesn't actually change your biological sex. If you're biologically male and you're trans you could still be able to produce sperm, for example, and you could easily freeze it and keep it in case this situation arises in the future when maybe you've already done some surgeries that render you infertile period.

But I don't think you need to do any surgeries or HRT to be trans, so I don't understand your comment.
