You need to read more carefully before you respond. It's the second case I presented where the change doesn't result in the ability to reproduce as the new form (and thus the individual who underwent a gender-confirmation Terrestrial Working still needs to use additional magic, under the Precedent of Rawar, to reproduce).

Like most psychological things, gender dysphoria is a continuum. I personally find mine mild enough that I've not transitioned, given a mix of family pressures, how dissatisfying I'd find a no-surgery transition, the mix of expense and bad outcomes possible for surgical transition, and younger me's desire to avoid sterility. From my perspective, even Vance's suggested limits of Terrestrial Working level coupled with the ability to use magic for conception would have been so much better an option than reality gave me . . ....

I don't think it's particularly obvious from the sorcery guidelines that wings are equivalent to "your transformed body will function as if you were born with it" versus "your transformed body will function as you hoped on the gross anatomical and hormone-producing levels, but produce either nonviable gametes or the gametes appropriate to your old physiology, requiring further assistance if you wish to reproduce". And the Precedent of Rawar, which is now canon, only makes sense in the second case.

Whether that was a good idea or not, I'm pretty sure canon's stuck...
