"XY Bodies" aren't a thing. Chromosomes only matter to house genes which lead to transcription factor and hormone cascades. If I took an XX person and gave them a male hormone cascade in utero, they would develop an "XY body" regardless of chromosomes.

@BLobitz It's a shame that the expectation is that you have to lose your humanity in the name of doctoring. We need to get rid of the arrogance that we're superheroes. Doctors are human and part of why society is losing trust in us is because we've lost our sense of humanity.
