If a person identifies as a man, and has their head/brain implanted into a 'female' body,
they [may very well] still identify as a man. Which is the only metric that actually matters.
You just created a 'man in female body' problem, which nature does from time to time.
On the other hand if that person now identifies [happily] as female, then they are now a
female, regardless of their former gender.
I foresee a future where [some] people 'regularly' change gender over their lifetime [and more importantly]
as well as changing their body structures more radically to accommodate different environments as
well as personal and societal aesthetics. [Wings are in at the moment]

I believe the procedure is aimed at paraplegics with multiple organ problems so a body of either sex would suffice to keep them (the head) alive.
Does it change your sex in any way if you have an organ donor from the opposite sex?

And it's for anyone who's body, but not mind, is dying.
