I'd like to ask a philisophical question here regarding the ship of Theseus. Plutarch posed the question wether in the process of restoration, if every single piece of Theseus' ship were to be replaced, would it still be the same ship afterward?

So I'll ask, if a person born biologically female were to have every single part of their body replaced a male one, would you still consider that person female?
Firstly, we have to establish we're comparing a human being to a ship.
Then we have to come to the point we're just replacing a woman's body parts with that of a man (which aren't even her own self-produced organs), but nonetheless it's perhaps as effective as replacing a missing leg with a substitute; and in contrast to Theseus' ship where they had replaced the planks of the ship; to the point it was still the same ship but with altercations.
Likewise the ship itself would've still turned out to be different; considering the planks were decaying and as such; Theseus' ship would've still been different in that case.
Regardless, it does not become a completely different ship with either of these altercations;
it's still Theseus' ship in the end; whether the planks are replaced or if they went to rot.
As for the woman who had been imbibed with Male Sex organs, well then you shouldn't forget the fact that a large percentage of her body is still female (bone structure importantly), the answer at the end for here would be tat she too, would still be a woman.
Born as a woman, and die as a woman. As Theseus' ship will still remain as that ship.
Even then, pre-op transgenders identify as being a member of the opposite sex when we clearly know that this is completely untrue; under any and all levels of standards.
The question is regarding every single part of both the ship and the person. It's still the ship that Theseus sailed on despite Theseus never having seen or come into physical contact with any existing part of it? Despite no part of it ever having been in any of the places he'd sailed his ship to? The person is still female despite every single organ, bone, inch of skin, and drop of blood having been replaced with a male version?
