After SRS would a MTF transexual woman have male or female DNA and chromosomes?

For example, if a transwoman had a a nose bleed and it was tested, would the results show genetically male blood, and XY chromosomes, or is there a way, with hormones and procedures for the DNA to be recognized as female DNA with XX chromosomes?





This isn't meant to be an offensive question, Just a personal one|||SRS changes the appearance of their body, to match their gender identity, but not their DNA or chromosomes. So yes, testing would reflect their physical gender of birth, but hormone levels would likely give an indication that the person was trans. (The same applies with both MTF %26amp; FTM).|||Blood doesn't have a gender!





Chromosomes don't determine gender! There are women who are XY (androgen insensitivity syndrome), men who are XX (male XX syndrome) and lots of intersex people who are neither.





Body parts don't determine gender!





There is no test for gender. The only 100% way of knowing a persons gender is to ask them.





98% of the time a persons gender (brain) and sex (body) match, but for the other 2% (intersex and transsexual) it doesn't. Transsexual people are born with a brain-body mismatch.





And no, we don't have the technology to change anyone's DNA at this point.

There is nothing in this day and age that can change someone's DNA from male to female or vice versa.|||As others have said gender isn't determined by chromosomes, only brain determines gender.|||the dna always remains the same, he is still a man, just a surgically mutilated man.
