Previous articles about Lia Thomas brought out the fact that some (many?) do not get the physical surgery that changes their anatomy to the newer gender. Other articles say she has had such surgery. Would it be conceivable that a person 'changes' gender with hormones and such for the purpose of some advantage by being the other gender. Could they then switch back to the original gender when the advantage has become moot?

Has it happened?
