You're presenting this as a hypothetical, but this, plus a strict requirement to live as a heterosexual post transition, was the socially and medically enforced one way to be trans throughout the 2nd half of the 20th century. Transmedicalism isn't something that some weirdos in our community came up with on their own, it was invented by cis people to control us, and it still dominates most medical and legal systems worldwide.
The forced sterilization part in particular has been a core part of the first gender ID law in Sweden, it was adopted by many other jurisdictions, it was on the books in Germany until 2011, it still is law in Japan today. There's just a dozen nation states worldwide that legally recognize nonbinary people. Most medical systems still require some form of transmed gatekeeping instead of operating under an informed consent model, and a lot of trans people, especially poor and PoC ones, still need to live stealth for safety reasons.
i watched a doc when i was maybe 11 or 12 that followed a trans woman going through a heavily transmedicalized process. she was required to successfully dress feminine for a few years and be 100% passing, forced to be hetero, etc. it showed the whole surgery in graphic detail.
it did it's job and popped the tiny balloon in my head i had at the time since i knew i like girls and didn't see my "girl self" as hyper femme. don't remember the name of the documentary but it was done in the U.S. and had a very late 80s sheen
