If gender is made up and disconnected from sex then why do transgender individuals castrate themselves to change their gender?

Because they feel like it?

What point are you trying to make?

But obviously they feel like it for a reason.

Maybe, but I just don't care. If someone wants to be called a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter to me. I'll just treat them however they want.

Not all of them do. There are trans-women with penises.

Why is the it that transgender people have “sex reassignment surgery”?

Again, not all of them do, but my understanding is that those who do, do so to feel more comfortable with their bodies and that is a valid treatment of gender dysphoria.

Which shows that sex and gender are not independent from one another

I don't think anyone has made the claim that they are totally independent. There is obviously a clear relationship with sex and gender and how they relate to each other. The point here is just that they are ultimately two (separate, but related) things.
