In light of recent news this is something to ponder on...
A friend of mine has a co-worker that had his penis removed and had reassignment surgery and now years later regrets it. I hold to a Reformed position on corruption which includes the biological and spiritual within present humanity but to assume the fall has effected one so much that his/her sex is scientifically wrong is very questionable indeed.
With the Biblical concept of a fall from Genesis, Scripture documents the idea of God creating male and female in the image and likeness of God; with the creation of the sexes, gender is definitive and definite and cannot be entirely altered. This is as well a New Testament concept (Romans 1-6).

Former Johns Hopkins chief of psychiatry: Being transgender is a ‘mental disorder . . . biologically impossible’

Not only does Dr. Paul R. McHugh consider changing sexes “biologically impossible,” he thinks being what is popularly called “transgender” these days is actually a “mental disorder.” McHugh, who has authored six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical journal articles, made the statements in a piece he penned for the Wall Street Journal that argued surgery is not the solution for patients who want to live life as the opposite sex. Such people, he wrote, suffer from a “disorder of assumption” in believing they can choose their sex.'

'He also cited a study that said transgendered people who have reassignment surgery are 20 times more likely to commit suicide than non-transgendered people,'

'He went on to write that changing sexes is impossible and that what transgendered people actually do is “become feminized men or masculinized women.”
While there are scientists who disagree, it is important to question whether health professionals, politicians and the media are doing more harm than good by enabling people who believe they were born the wrong sex to go to such extremes. For millennia, the first rule of Western medicine has been summed up as “do no harm.” There’s a reason for that.'
