It is not permissible to change one's gender. A Muslim must be content with what Allah has decreed for them, as there may be goodness in it for them. Allah has forbidden wishing for what He has favored some of us with over others, so how about actually doing it? Gender reassignment is a manipulation of Allah's creation and following the path of Satan.
