Your viewpoint is very interesting, if more biologists had your knowledge
and understanding of the subject, we would still be in the "Dark Ages" of
science.  X and Y chromosomes are the "primary" factor in determining 
gender, however, there are several factors to consider.  One major factor
is the hormones the fetus is subjected to during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 
tri-mesters.  These hormones if unbalanced in the fetus during the 3 tri-mester
will cause a "gender switch" in nature.  The subject has been proven, and
if you would like literary references, I will be more than happy to 
supply you with them.  Secondly, as I am sure you must have heard, the 
hypothalamus has a great deal to contribute to how a person feels, and what
attracts them, would you suggest lobotomizing those who felt they were not 
happy the way they are?  That sounds like several mental institutions back
in the early 19 hundreds.

STOP THE PRESS, I know of an entire nation of people where the men wear dresses
and the women wear slacks, SCOTLAND!  I have a good friend of mine who is 
Scottish and happens to very much enjoy wearing a kilt, or tartan for those
more formal occasions.  He claims them to be very comfortable, rather warm, 
allow freedom of movement, and a comfort that even boxers cannot provide.
*(I personally think it makes it easier to shag sheep with. ;)

I didn't think that the Scots were PERVERTED, perhaps my viewpoint is 
self-centered, is there anyone out there who thinks that the Scottish 
are PERVERTED?  Personally I think they can hold their own in a fight, and 
are more masculine than most Americans.
