Well you make a convincing argument for being human, but in order for procreation to happen, you need completely separate sets of genes (xx&xy) to reproduce. That takes a completely different capability that only each gender can provide to fulfill the demands of procreation.
I get where you are coming from, and I guess I just want to say my original post was about a completely healthy xx person feeling sad she was losing (in her mind) the organs that make her a female.
You are right. Your SIL needs to feel happy about herself. That is the priority.
As to reproductive organs, the main components are the eggs and sperm. These are basically just cells with only half the usual number of chromosomes in both sexes.
Externally, one sex typically has a larger version of what the other sex has. As for lips, one sex has a separate pair and the other has the pair sewn up along the edge.
I apologise if this comes across as unseemly. I have this inconvenient character flaw that wants people to see things exactly the same way that I do!
